Egypt to Niger visa requirements

Yes. Egyptian ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Niger. There is no visa-free entry, no e-visa, and no general visa-on-arrival for Egyptian nationals. You must apply in advance at a Nigerien embassy or consulate. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. Niger grants visa-free entry only to ECOWAS member states and a short list of bilateral exemptions (Chad, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia, Hong Kong). Egypt is not an ECOWAS member and is not on Niger's exemption list, so an Egyptian ordinary passport holder must obtain a visa before travel. Niger does not operate an official e-visa platform, and visa-on-arrival is restricted to UAE nationals or travelers holding a pre-approved authorization from Niger's National Police, which is not a routine tourist channel. The standard and only reliable route is to apply at a Nigerien diplomatic mission, submitting a passport valid at least six months, application form, photos, proof of accommodation/itinerary, return ticket, and a mandatory yellow fever vaccination certificate. Tourist visas are typically single-entry, valid for around 3 months from issue with a stay of up to 30 days, with embassy fees commonly around USD 150-160 plus any service fees. Travelers should also note that Niger carries severe security travel advisories (terrorism, kidnapping) from most foreign ministries, and entry rules can change quickly under the current authorities; confirm directly with the Nigerien embassy before booking.
