Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit NE?

Yes - a Brazilian ordinary passport holder needs a visa to visit Niger. Brazil is not on Niger's visa-exempt list (which is essentially ECOWAS members plus a handful of others), so a tourist visa must be obtained before travel from a Nigerien diplomatic mission. An eVisa portal (DST) and a pre-approved "flyer" visa on arrival exist but are not a reliable walk-up channel, so plan on a consular visa. Niger requires Brazilian ordinary passport holders to hold a visa for tourism. There is no mutual visa-waiver or unilateral visa-free arrangement between Brazil and Niger as of 2026; Niger's visa exemptions are limited mainly to ECOWAS member states and a small number of bilateral/diplomatic-passport exceptions, and Brazil is not among them. The Republic of Niger operates an electronic visa system through the Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DST), and a pre-approved "flyer" visa on arrival at Niamey (Diori Hamani) airport is available only to travelers who have secured advance clearance from Niger's National Police. Because Niger has no resident embassy in Brazil and the country's security situation remains volatile, the safe and conservative course for a Brazilian tourist is to obtain a visa in advance from an accredited Nigerien mission (or the DST eVisa where eligible) before departure. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. This guide treats the route as visa-required, the appropriate conservative default for a short tourist stay.
