Niger Visa Requirements for Guinea Citizens

Visa-free

Guinea passport holders do not need a visa to visit Niger.

Niger's embassy in Turkey says a visa is mandatory to enter Niger except for nationals of the member states of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and of certain states with which Niger has agreements abolishing short-stay visas.
