Poland to Niger visa requirements

Yes. A Polish ordinary passport holder needs a visa to enter Niger for tourism. There is no visa-free entry and no general visa-on-arrival; the visa must be obtained in advance from a Niger diplomatic mission (the Embassy of Niger in Berlin is accredited to Poland, or apply via Brussels). Niger requires Polish citizens to hold a valid entry visa obtained before travel. Niger is not part of any visa-waiver or reciprocal agreement with Poland and is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. There is no broadly available tourist eVisa for Polish passport holders, and visa-on-arrival is only possible with prior approval (a Visa Volant / letter of invitation issued by Niger's Ministry of Interior or pre-clearance by the National Police) - it is not a reliable option for ordinary tourists. Because Niger has no embassy in Poland, applications are handled by the Niger Embassy in Berlin (accredited to Poland) or the Embassy in Brussels. A single-entry short-stay tourist visa is typically issued for stays up to 30-90 days. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry for anyone over 9 months old, and the passport must be valid at least six months with blank pages. Note that as of 2026 several governments (including the U.S.) advise against travel to Niger due to security conditions, so verify current entry rules and the security situation directly with the embassy before applying.
