Indonesia to Niger visa requirements

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Niger. Niger is NOT visa-free or part of any waiver for Indonesia. The most practical channel is the Niger eVisa (single entry, up to 30 days), with an embassy/consular visa as the alternative. A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. As of mid-2026, a visa is required for Indonesian (ID) ordinary passport holders visiting Niger (Republic of Niger / Niger Republic, capital Niamey) for tourism. Indonesia is not on Niger's visa-exemption list, which is limited mainly to ECOWAS member states and a small number of bilateral partners (e.g., Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritania, Hong Kong). Niger operates an electronic visa (eVisa) introduced in 2019 covering nationals of non-exempt countries, including Indonesia, issued as a single-entry visa valid for stays up to 30 days. The eVisa is the recommended route where it can be obtained reliably; applicants should print the approved visa and present it on arrival. A traditional consular (embassy) visa remains the fallback, particularly given that administrative processes in Niger have been disrupted since the July 2023 political transition. A valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is a strict, universal entry requirement. Because political and administrative conditions in Niger can change quickly and eVisa portal availability has been intermittent, travelers should confirm current status with the nearest Niger diplomatic mission shortly before booking, and be prepared for visa-required (embassy) processing. Default conservative classification: visa required, delivered via eVisa.
