Israel to Niger visa requirements

Israeli passport holders need a visa to enter Niger. There is no visa-free entry and no general public eVisa; the visa must be arranged in advance through a Niger diplomatic mission. A pre-approved visa on arrival (Visa Volant) exists only with prior authorization from Niger's National Police, and is not a reliable substitute for an embassy visa. Niger grants visa-free entry only to ECOWAS member states plus a short list of others (Chad, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia, Hong Kong). All other nationals, including Israeli citizens, must obtain a visitor visa. Niger does not maintain diplomatic relations with Israel and has no Niger embassy in Israel, so Israeli travelers must apply through a Niger mission accredited to the region (for example a Niger embassy in a third country) or arrange a letter of invitation that secures a pre-approved visa on arrival ("Visa Volant") from the Direction de la Surveillance du Territoire / National Police. Because there is no public end-to-end eVisa for tourists and no visa-waiver, the accurate and conservative verdict is visa-required. Niger has also been politically unstable since the July 2023 coup; entry procedures can change at short notice and travelers should confirm current rules with the nearest Niger mission and consult their foreign ministry's travel advisory before booking. Typical short-stay visitor visas are single-entry, valid about 3 months from issue, allowing a stay up to roughly 30 days, with two passport photos and a confirmed hotel booking or invitation among the standard requirements.
