Thailand to Niger visa requirements

Yes, a visa is required. Thailand ordinary passport holders are not visa-exempt for Niger (NE), but they can apply online for a Niger eVisa before travel (single-entry, up to 30 days for tourism). Note: Niger is in West Africa and is distinct from Nigeria (NG). Thai ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Niger for tourism. Niger's visa-exemption list covers only ECOWAS member states plus a handful of others (Chad, Hong Kong, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia), so Thai nationals are not exempt. The Republic of Niger introduced an electronic visa in 2019 covering citizens of more than 200 countries, allowing a single entry of up to 30 days, with longer 60-day and 90-day options available at higher cost. As there is no Nigerien embassy resident in Bangkok, the online eVisa is the most practical channel for Thai travelers; a traditional consular visa from a Nigerien mission (or accredited mission) remains the fallback, and visa on arrival exists only for travelers holding a pre-approved confirmation from the National Police. Because Niger's eVisa platform has at times been intermittently available, travelers should apply well in advance, keep a printed approval, and confirm the portal is live before booking. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry, and passports should have at least six months' validity. Niger is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Security conditions in Niger are volatile; check current government travel advisories before travel.
