Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Niger visa requirements

Taiwan ordinary passport holders need a visa before traveling to Niger. There is no visa-free, general visa-on-arrival, or eVisa channel for Taiwanese nationals, so you must obtain a visa from a Niger embassy or consulate in advance. Niger requires Taiwan ordinary passport holders to obtain a visa prior to arrival. Niger's visa-exemption list is limited to ECOWAS member states (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Ghana, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo) plus a small number of others (Chad, Hong Kong, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia). Taiwan is not on any exemption list. Visa on arrival in Niamey is only available with a pre-approved confirmation letter from Niger's National Police (a "flyer visa"), and is not a reliable channel for tourists. Niger has long operated without a fully functional general public eVisa for most nationalities as of mid-2026, so the practical route is a paper visa obtained in advance from a Niger embassy/consulate. Because Taiwan has no diplomatic mission in Niger and Niger has no embassy in Taiwan, applicants typically apply through the nearest accredited Niger embassy (for example in Beijing, Tokyo, or a third country) or via an accredited visa agency. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry. Travelers should also note that Niger is under a military-led government following the 2023 coup, regional borders and air links have been disrupted, and most foreign ministries advise against travel; security conditions should be checked before any trip.
