Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit NE?

Finnish passport holders need a visa for Niger and should apply online for an eVisa before travel. A single-entry tourist eVisa costs about US$102, allows a 30-day stay, and proof of yellow fever vaccination is mandatory on arrival. Finland is not on Niger's visa-exempt list (which is essentially limited to ECOWAS member states plus a handful of bilateral partners such as Chad, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia), so a Finnish ordinary-passport holder needs a visa for any tourist visit. Since November 2019 Niger has run an official electronic visa platform operated by the Ministry of Interior and Decentralization through the Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DST), open to nationals of more than 200 countries including Finland. The standard tourist product is a single-entry eVisa permitting up to 30 days in the country; longer 31-60 day and 61-90 day options are also sold. Government processing is typically within about five business days, and the approval should be printed and carried for presentation at the border. A pre-approved visa on arrival ("flyer visa") exists at Niamey airport but requires prior National Police authorization and involves surrendering the passport for a working day, so it is not the practical route for ordinary tourists. Yellow fever vaccination is compulsory for all travelers over 9 months of age. Important: Niger remains under a heightened travel-risk environment in 2024-2026 (security and political instability), and several Western governments advise against travel; verify both visa rules and security advisories close to departure. Niger is NOT in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
