Any foreigner wishing to travel to Niger must be in possession of a valid passport or other documentation from his country recognized by the Republic of Niger as an official travel document and an entry visa to Niger. Exception is made for nationals of countries with which Niger is bound by a Visa Waiver Agreement.

The entry visa to Niger is an entry and residence permit for a limited period of time in Niger, issued by the competent Nigerien authorities. This authorization is embodied in the consulate of Niger in London, by the affixing of a stamp in lieu of visa. However, the possession of a visa to Niger does not confer an irrevocable entry.

Visa applications are made at the consulate every working day from 9 am to 12:30 pm. The visa issue period is 5 working days.

Passport pick-ups are made by visa applicants from Monday to Friday from 12 noon to 2 PM. A visa applicant wishing to have his / her passport delivered must attach a secure, prepaid envelope bearing his or her address to his initial application.
