Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the full 90-day stay in Niger. Airlines at Casablanca and Marrakech check this before boarding. Carry a photocopy of the bio page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Niger | Immigration officers at Diori Hamani International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed copy or a screenshot of your booking ready. Overland departures are less strict but still carry proof. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. A printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry enough cash (CFA francs, euros, or US dollars) to cover your stay — roughly 50,000 CFA per week is a safe minimum. ATMs in Niamey are unreliable, so bring cash from home. | Recommended |
Security situation
Niger faces security risks, especially in border regions and rural areas. Check your government's travel advisories before booking. Avoid non-essential travel to areas outside Niamey and major cities.
Yellow fever vaccine
While not always checked for direct flights from Morocco, you may be asked for a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you've recently visited a country with yellow fever. Carry your WHO yellow card just in case.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Diori Hamani International Airport (NIM)
After landing in Niamey, follow signs to 'Immigration' or 'Passport Control'. There are usually two queues: one for Nigerien citizens and one for foreigners. Join the foreigner queue.
2
Present your passport and boarding pass
Hand over your passport (with at least 6 months validity) and your boarding pass. The officer will check your details and may ask about your purpose of visit and where you're staying.
3
Receive entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the date of entry and the allowed stay (up to 90 days). No visa fee is charged. The process usually takes 2–5 minutes per person.
4
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After passport control, head to baggage claim, then walk through customs. There's usually no customs declaration form for personal items. If you have nothing to declare, use the green channel.
