Do United Kingdom passport holders need a visa to visit NE?

UK ordinary passport holders need a visa before traveling to Niger for tourism. Apply in advance at a Nigerien diplomatic mission (the embassy in Geneva serves the UK). Note: the FCDO advises against all travel to Niger. A United Kingdom ordinary passport holder requires a visa to enter Niger for tourism or a short visit. There is no visa-free entry and no straightforward visa on arrival for British citizens; visa on arrival is only possible with prior pre-approval from Niger's National Police, so in practice travelers must obtain a visa in advance from a Nigerien diplomatic mission. The official UK government guidance directs British applicants to the Nigerien embassy in Geneva, as there is no Nigerien embassy issuing visas in London at present. A short-stay tourist visa is typically single-entry, valid for around 30 to 90 days with a stay of up to about one month, and costs roughly USD 100 to 160 depending on the mission. An IOM-operated national eVisa portal for Niger has been emerging, but it is not confirmed by the FCDO as a reliable channel for UK travelers, so the conservative and accurate position is that a pre-arranged paper/embassy visa is required. Important context: the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advises against all travel to Niger due to the security situation, and a state of emergency applies in parts of the country. Travelers should treat the visa as a precondition only after carefully reviewing the travel advisory and the impact on travel insurance.
