Learn actions you can take to stay healthy and safe on your trip. Vaccines cannot protect you from many diseases in Niger, so your behaviors are important.

Eat and drink safely

Food and water standards around the world vary based on the destination. Standards may also differ within a country and risk may change depending on activity type (e.g., hiking versus business trip). You can learn more about safe food and drink choices when traveling by accessing the resources below.

• Choose Safe Food and Drinks When Traveling
• Water Treatment Options When Hiking, Camping or Traveling
• Global Water, Sanitation and Hygiene | Healthy Water
• Avoid Contaminated Water During Travel

You can also visit the Department of State Country Information Pages for additional information about food and water safety.

Prevent bug bites

Bugs (like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas) can spread a number of diseases in Niger. Many of these diseases cannot be prevented with a vaccine or medicine. You can reduce your risk by taking steps to prevent bug bites.

What can I do to prevent bug bites?

• Cover exposed skin by wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and hats.
• Use an appropriate insect repellent (see below).
• Use permethrin-treated clothing and gear (such as boots, pants, socks, and tents). Do not use permethrin directly on skin.
• Stay and sleep in air-conditioned or screened rooms.
• Use a bed net if the area where you are sleeping is exposed to the outdoors.

What type of insect repellent should I use?

• FOR PROTECTION AGAINST TICKS AND MOSQUITOES: Use a repellent that contains 20% or more DEET for protection that lasts up to several hours.
• Picaridin (also known as KBR 3023, Bayrepel, and icaridin)
• Oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE) or para-menthane-diol (PMD)
• 2-undecanone
• Always use insect repellent as directed.

What should I do if I am bitten by bugs?

• Avoid scratching bug bites, and apply hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion to reduce the itching.
• Check your entire body for ticks after outdoor activity. Be sure to remove ticks properly.

What can I do to avoid bed bugs?

Although bed bugs do not carry disease, they are an annoyance. See our information page about avoiding bug bites for some easy tips to avoid them. For more information on bed bugs, see Bed Bugs .

For more detailed information on avoiding bug bites, see Avoid Bug Bites .

Stay safe outdoors

If your travel plans in Niger include outdoor activities, take these steps to stay safe and healthy during your trip.

• Stay alert to changing weather conditions and adjust your plans if conditions become unsafe.
• Prepare for activities by wearing the right clothes and packing protective items, such as bug spray, sunscreen, and a basic first aid kit.
• Consider learning basic first aid and CPR before travel. Bring a travel health kit with items appropriate for your activities.
• If you are outside for many hours in heat, eat salty snacks and drink water to stay hydrated and replace salt lost through sweating.
• Protect yourself from UV radiation : use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, wear protective clothing, and seek shade during the hottest time of day (10 a.m.–4 p.m.).
• Be especially careful during summer months and at high elevation. Because sunlight reflects off snow, sand, and water, sun exposure may be increased during activities like skiing, swimming, and sailing.
• Very cold temperatures can be dangerous. Dress in layers and cover heads, hands, and feet properly if you are visiting a cold location.

Stay safe around water

• Swim only in designated swimming areas. Obey lifeguards and warning flags on beaches.
• Practice safe boating—follow all boating safety laws, do not drink alcohol if driving a boat, and always wear a life jacket.
• Do not dive into shallow water.
• Do not swim in freshwater in developing areas or where sanitation is poor.
• Avoid swallowing water when swimming. Untreated water can carry germs that make you sick.
• To prevent infections, wear shoes on beaches where there may be animal waste.

Schistosomiasis, a parasitic infection that can be spread in fresh water, is found in Niger. Avoid swimming in fresh, unchlorinated water, such as lakes, ponds, or rivers.

Keep away from animals

Most animals avoid people, but they may attack if they feel threatened, are protecting their young or territory, or if they are injured or ill. Animal bites and scratches can lead to serious diseases such as rabies.

Follow these tips to protect yourself:

• Do not touch or feed any animals you do not know.
• Do not allow animals to lick open wounds, and do not get animal saliva in your eyes or mouth.
• Avoid rodents and their urine and feces.
• Traveling pets should be supervised closely and not allowed to come in contact with local animals.
• If you wake in a room with a bat, seek medical care immediately. Bat bites may be hard to see.

All animals can pose a threat, but be extra careful around dogs, bats, monkeys, sea animals such as jellyfish, and snakes. If you are bitten or scratched by an animal, immediately:

• Wash the wound with soap and clean water.
• Go to a doctor right away.
• Tell your doctor about your injury when you get back to the United States.

Consider buying medical evacuation insurance. Rabies is a deadly disease that must be treated quickly, and treatment may not be available in some countries.

Reduce your exposure to germs

Follow these tips to avoid getting sick or spreading illness to others while traveling:

• Wash your hands often, especially before eating.
• If soap and water aren’t available, clean hands with hand sanitizer (containing at least 60% alcohol).
• Don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you need to touch your face, make sure your hands are clean.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.
• Try to avoid contact with people who are sick.
• If you are sick, stay home or in your hotel room, unless you need medical care.

Avoid sharing body fluids

Diseases can be spread through body fluids, such as saliva, blood, vomit, and semen.

Protect yourself:

• Use latex condoms correctly.
• Do not inject drugs.
• Limit alcohol consumption. People take more risks when intoxicated.
• Do not share needles or any devices that can break the skin. That includes needles for tattoos, piercings, and acupuncture.
• If you receive medical or dental care, make sure the equipment is disinfected or sanitized.

Know how to get medical care while traveling

Plan for how you will get health care during your trip, should the need arise:

• Carry a list of local doctors and hospitals at your destination.
• Review your health insurance plan to determine what medical services it would cover during your trip. Consider purchasing travel health and medical evacuation insurance.
• Carry a card that identifies, in the local language, your blood type, chronic conditions or serious allergies, and the generic names of any medications you take.
• Some prescription drugs may be illegal in other countries. Call Niger’s embassy to verify that all of your prescription(s) are legal to bring with you.
• Bring all the medicines (including over-the-counter medicines) you think you might need during your trip, including extra in case of travel delays. Ask your doctor to help you get prescriptions filled early if you need to.

Many foreign hospitals and clinics are accredited by the Joint Commission International. A list of accredited facilities is available at their website ( www.jointcommissioninternational.org ).

In some countries, medicine (prescription and over-the-counter) may be substandard or counterfeit. Bring the medicines you will need from the United States to avoid having to buy them at your destination.

Malaria is a risk in Niger. Fill your malaria prescription before you leave and take enough with you for the entire length of your trip. Follow your doctor’s instructions for taking the pills; some need to be started before you leave.

Select safe transportation

Motor vehicle crashes are the #1 killer of healthy US citizens in foreign countries.

In many places cars, buses, large trucks, rickshaws, bikes, people on foot, and even animals share the same lanes of traffic, increasing the risk for crashes.

Be smart when you are traveling on foot.

• Use sidewalks and marked crosswalks.
• Pay attention to the traffic around you, especially in crowded areas.
• Remember, people on foot do not always have the right of way in other countries.

Riding/Driving

Choose a safe vehicle.

• Choose official taxis or public transportation, such as trains and buses.
• Ride only in cars that have seatbelts.
• Avoid overcrowded, overloaded, top-heavy buses and minivans.
• Avoid riding on motorcycles or motorbikes, especially motorbike taxis. (Many crashes are caused by inexperienced motorbike drivers.)
• Choose newer vehicles—they may have more safety features, such as airbags, and be more reliable.
• Choose larger vehicles, which may provide more protection in crashes.

Think about the driver.

• Do not drive after drinking alcohol or ride with someone who has been drinking.
• Consider hiring a licensed, trained driver familiar with the area.
• Arrange payment before departing.

Follow basic safety tips.

• Wear a seatbelt at all times.
• Sit in the back seat of cars and taxis.
• When on motorbikes or bicycles, always wear a helmet. (Bring a helmet from home, if needed.)
• Avoid driving at night; street lighting in certain parts of Niger may be poor.
• Do not use a cell phone or text while driving (illegal in many countries).
• Travel during daylight hours only, especially in rural areas.
• If you choose to drive a vehicle in Niger, learn the local traffic laws and have the proper paperwork.
• Get any driving permits and insurance you may need. Get an International Driving Permit (IDP). Carry the IDP and a US-issued driver's license at all times.
• Check with your auto insurance policy's international coverage, and get more coverage if needed. Make sure you have liability insurance.
• Avoid using local, unscheduled aircraft.
• If possible, fly on larger planes (more than 30 seats); larger airplanes are more likely to have regular safety inspections.
• Try to schedule flights during daylight hours and in good weather.

Medical Evacuation Insurance

If you are seriously injured, emergency care may not be available or may not meet US standards. Trauma care centers are uncommon outside urban areas. Having medical evacuation insurance can be helpful for these reasons.

Helpful Resources

Road Safety Overseas (Information from the US Department of State): Includes tips on driving in other countries, International Driving Permits, auto insurance, and other resources.

The Association for International Road Travel has country-specific Road Travel Reports available for most countries for a minimal fee.

Maintain personal security

Use the same common sense traveling overseas that you would at home, and always stay alert and aware of your surroundings.

Before you leave

• Research your destination(s), including local laws, customs, and culture.
• Monitor travel advisories and alerts and read travel tips from the US Department of State.
• Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) .
• Leave a copy of your itinerary, contact information, credit cards, and passport with someone at home.
• Pack as light as possible, and leave at home any item you could not replace.

While at your destination(s)

• Carry contact information for the nearest US embassy or consulate .
• Carry a photocopy of your passport and entry stamp; leave the actual passport securely in your hotel.
• Follow all local laws and social customs.
• Do not wear expensive clothing or jewelry.
• Always keep hotel doors locked, and store valuables in secure areas.
• If possible, choose hotel rooms between the 2nd and 6th floors.

Healthy Travel Packing List

Use the Healthy Travel Packing List for Niger for a list of health-related items to consider packing for your trip. Talk to your doctor about which items are most important for you.

Why does CDC recommend packing these health-related items?

It’s best to be prepared to prevent and treat common illnesses and injuries. Some supplies and medicines may be difficult to find at your destination, may have different names, or may have different ingredients than what you normally use.

If you are not feeling well after your trip, you may need to see a doctor. If you need help finding a travel medicine specialist, see Find a Clinic . Be sure to tell your doctor about your travel, including where you went and what you did on your trip. Also tell your doctor if you were bitten or scratched by an animal while traveling.

If your doctor prescribed antimalarial medicine for your trip, keep taking the rest of your pills after you return home. If you stop taking your medicine too soon, you could still get sick.

Malaria is always a serious disease and may be a deadly illness. If you become ill with a fever either while traveling in a malaria-risk area or after you return home (for up to 1 year), you should seek immediate medical attention and should tell the doctor about your travel history.

For more information on what to do if you are sick after your trip, see Getting Sick after Travel .

See Safety .

• There's political instability in Niger following a military takeover in July 2023. The security situation remains highly volatile. Protests and civil unrest could occur and turn violent quickly without notice. Avoid government buildings, demonstrations, large crowds and political gatherings. Movement restrictions may be implemented at short notice. 
• There's a high risk of terrorism in Niger. Terrorists could target foreigners and the places they visit, including hotels, cafes, restaurants, government buildings, and security facilities. Avoid possible targets, be alert to threats and take official warnings seriously. 
• There's a high risk of kidnapping across Niger, especially outside Niamey. Foreign nationals are particularly at risk and could be kidnapped from their homes, vehicles and workplaces. 
• If you do decide to travel to Niger, consider engaging professional security advice and arrange personal security measures.
• Violent crime, including armed home invasions, kidnapping, carjacking and mugging, is common. Don't travel alone. Travelling after dark brings increased risk.

Some land borders remain closed, and others may close without warning. Trying to leave Niger by land borders is likely to be dangerous. Do not travel to several countries neighbouring Niger, including Burkina Faso, Mali, Libya, and Chad. We also advise do not travel to Algeria's, Nigeria's, and Benin's border areas with Niger. 

• If you can't depart or if you decide to stay in Niger, limit your movements and avoid protests. Keep a supply of water, food and medicine. 

Full travel advice:  Safety

• Yellow fever and malaria are common. Ensure your accommodation is insect-proof. Use insect repellent. Get vaccinated against yellow fever before you travel. Consider taking anti-malarial medication.
• The HIV/AIDS infection rate is high. Take precautions if you engage in high-risk activities.
• Waterborne, foodborne and other infectious diseases are common. These include cholera, rabies, hepatitis, polio and bilharzia. Drink only boiled or bottled water. Avoid raw or undercooked food. Don't swim in fresh water. Ensure your polio vaccinations are up to date.
• Medical facilities in Niamey, including emergency help, may be limited and poor quality. Outside the capital, they're inadequate or non-existent. If you're seriously ill or injured, you'll need medical evacuation.
• Get full travel insurance that covers medical costs and evacuation. You'll probably need a special policy that covers travel to high-risk places. Most Australian policies won't cover you for travel to Niger.

Full travel advice:  Health

• Don't use, carry or traffic illegal drugs. Severe penalties include heavy fines and long prison sentences, especially in areas where Islamic militants are implementing Sharia law.

Always carry your passport with a valid visa or residence permit.

• Be careful when taking photos. Photographing military and government buildings, personnel, key infrastructure, and political demonstrations is illegal. Ask permission before taking pictures of locals.
• Niger doesn't recognise dual nationality. If you enter the country on your Nigerien passport, authorities will treat you as a Nigerien citizen. Always travel on your Australian passport.
• Dress and behaviour standards in Niger are conservative. Always dress and act appropriately.

Full travel advice:  Local laws

• If, despite our advice, you travel to Niger, you'll need a visa to enter the country. Entry and exit conditions can change at short notice. You should contact the nearest embassy or consulate of Niger for the latest details.
• You must show your yellow fever vaccination certificate to enter the country.
• Some land ports of entry may be closed due to security considerations. Several roads in Niger are closed for travel, except with special authorisation. Without these authorisations, you could be arrested and deported.
• Landmines are a risk throughout the country. Drive only in daylight and drive in a convoy with adequate security.
• Taxis are old and in poor condition. Don't use public transport due to poor road conditions and the risk of violent crime. Hire a private car with a professional driver and consider engaging appropriate security support.

• Travel advice for  Chad
• Travel advice for  Libya
• Travel advice for  Mali

If you can't depart or decide to stay in Niger, limit your movements and avoid protests. Keep a supply of water, food and medicine. Stay in contact with family and friends.

Demonstrations and protests

Public protests and events that draw large groups of people can turn violent without warning. Security forces have used force to break up protests. Demonstrations often occur near:

• government buildings
• universities
• public parks

Mobile phone and internet connections may be disrupted during civil unrest. Movement restrictions may be implemented.

Clashes between security forces and armed groups have happened in many regions of Niger. Several have initiated states of emergency in response.

Curfews may be in place in some towns. They can change at short notice.

If, despite our advice, you travel to Niger:

• avoid political rallies, protests, demonstrations and large gatherings
• if caught up in a protest, leave as soon as it's safe
• monitor international and reliable local media for possible unrest
• obey curfews
• follow the advice of local authorities
• Demonstrations and civil unrest

There's a threat of terrorism in Niger, including in the capital, Niamey. Attacks could be indiscriminate and occur without warning in places visited by foreigners.

Many attacks have occurred in recent years, and more attacks are likely. Be aware of your surroundings, be alert to threats and exercise caution, especially around: 

• hospitality venues, including hotels, cafes, restaurants and bars
• locations popular with tourists and foreigners, including national parks
• transport hubs
• religious sites and places of worship
• sporting and cultural events
• shopping centres, supermarkets and markets
• security facilities
• international organisations
• diplomatic buildings
• police stations

If there's a terrorist attack:

• leave the area as soon as it's safe
• avoid large crowds and the affected area in case of secondary attacks

Attacks along any of Niger's borders are also possible.

If you decide to travel to Niger despite our advice:

• get professional security advice
• arrange suitable security measures
• monitor international and reliable local media and other sources for threats
• avoid possible targets
• have an exit plan if you need to visit an area that's a possible target
• stay in accommodation with appropriate security measures in place
• report suspicious activity or items to police
• take official warnings seriously

Kidnapping  is a high threat across Niger, including in the capital Niamey. Various militant groups are active in Niger and neighbouring countries.  

Foreigners are particularly at risk. Terrorist groups and bandits have kidnapped foreign nationals. Kidnappers may execute hostages. 

Kidnappers may kidnap foreign workers, tourists and expats from their: 

• homes 
• vehicles 
• workplaces 

The Australian Government's longstanding policy is that it doesn't make payments or concessions to kidnappers.

Violent crime

Violent crime is common across Niger, including in Niamey. Crimes include:

• armed home invasions
• carjackings

The risk of violent crime increases at night, but it can happen at any time. We advise against walking alone, even in the vicinity of your hotel.

Criminals often work in groups to target foreigners and 4WD vehicles.

Outside central Niamey, the threat of violent crime is higher. 

Petty crime

Pickpocketing and other petty crimes are common in Niger, including Niamey.

• pay close attention to your personal belongings
• avoid walking in isolated areas or along dark streets at night
• lock your accommodation, even when you're inside
• keep car windows and doors locked, even when moving
• limit any displays of personal wealth.

Scams and fraud

Internet  scams  come in many forms, including romance, friendship, business and job offers.

Once the online friendship develops, your friend or prospective marriage partner might ask you to send money so they can travel to Australia.

Criminals might also:

• ask to transfer large amounts of money to an overseas bank account and offer you a percentage
• provide fake cashier cheques for urgent shipments of goods
• ask for large fees for fake government contracts
• lure you to Niger for a business opportunity

You could be lured to Africa to meet your friend. Once in Africa, you could become the victim of  kidnapping ,  assault ,  robbery , or  extortion . Some victims have been killed. Don't travel to Niger to get your money back or to get revenge. If you suspect a scam, get legal advice.

Some scams ask you to transfer money through the Australian High Commission in Abuja, Nigeria. Some scammers pretend to work there. Check with the High Commission if you're asked to send money or details to them (see  Local contacts ).

To protect yourself from scams:

• be wary of online contact from people you don't know
• don't send money to anyone until you've thoroughly checked them

If, despite our advice, you travel to Niger, warn your friends and family about scams relating to your welfare. They may get fake phone calls and emails claiming you're in legal, financial or medical trouble and asking for money to help.

While you're in Niger, be cautious about giving out personal information. Don't throw away personal documents.

Cyber security

You may be at risk of cyber-based threats during overseas travel to any country. Digital identity theft is a growing concern. Your devices and personal data can be compromised, especially if you're connecting to Wi-Fi, using or connecting to shared or public computers, or Bluetooth.

Social media can also be risky in destinations where there are social or political tensions or laws that may seem unreasonable by Australian standards. Travellers have been arrested for things they have said on social media. Don't comment on local or political events on your social media.

More information: 

• Cyber security when travelling overseas

Climate and natural disasters

The rainy season is from June to October. Flooding and landslides may occur, blocking roads.

The dry season is from November to May. 

During the dry season, Niger may be affected by the "Harmattan" seasonal wind. This seasonal wind blows a lot of sand and dust in the air. Visibility may be very limited. This wind can cause problems for people with respiratory or optical issues.

If a  natural disaster  or  severe weather  occurs:

• monitor reliable local media
• keep in touch with friends and family

Register with the  Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System  to receive alerts on major disasters.

Travel insurance

Get comprehensive  travel insurance  before you leave. 

Your policy needs to cover all overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation. The Australian Government won't pay for these costs.

You'll probably need a specialised insurance policy that covers travel to high-risk destinations. Most Australian policies won't cover you for travel to Niger.

If you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. This applies to everyone, no matter how healthy and fit you are.

If you're not insured, you may have to pay thousands of dollars up-front for medical care.

• what activities and care your policy covers
• that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away

Physical and mental health

Consider your physical and mental health before you travel, especially if you have an existing medical condition.

See your doctor or travel clinic to:

• have a basic health check-up
• ask if your travel plans may affect your health
• plan any vaccinations you need

Do this at least 8 weeks before you leave.

• General health advice
• Healthy holiday tips  (Healthdirect Australia)

Not all medications available over the counter or by prescription in Australia are available in other countries. Some may even be considered illegal or a controlled substance, even if prescribed by an Australian doctor.

If you plan to bring medication, check if it's legal in Niger. Take enough legal medicine for your trip.

Carry a copy of your prescription or a letter from your doctor stating:

• what the medication is
• your required dosage
• that it's for personal use

Insect-borne diseases.

Yellow fever  is widespread in Niger. Yellow fever is a potentially fatal virus spread by mosquitoes. It's preventable by vaccination. Get vaccinated for before you travel.

Insect-borne diseases, including  Malaria  and Dengue, are common.

To protect yourself from disease:

• make sure your accommodation is insect-proof
• use insect repellent
• wear long, loose, light-coloured clothing
• consider taking medicine to prevent malaria

Get medical advice if you have a fever, muscle pain, rash or severe headache.

The  HIV/AIDS  infection rate is high in Niger. Take precautions if you engage in activities that may expose you to the virus.

Other health risks

Waterborne, foodborne and other infectious diseases are common, including:

• polio (poliomyelitis)
• tuberculosis
• bilharzia (schistosomiasis)

Serious outbreaks can occur.

To protect yourself from illness:

• drink boiled water or bottled water with sealed lids
• avoid ice cubes
• avoid raw and undercooked food, such as salads
• don't swim in fresh water

Get medical advice if you have a fever or diarrhoea.

• Infectious diseases

Medical care

Medical facilities.

Medical facilities in Niamey, including emergency help, are limited and of poor quality.

Outside the capital, facilities are inadequate, non-existent or under the control of armed militias.

You'll probably need to pay up-front for medical services. If you can't, this may delay your treatment.

If you're seriously ill or injured, you may need medical evacuation. Medical evacuation can be very expensive. The Australian Government is unable to organise or pay for medical evacuation.

You're subject to all local laws and penalties, including those that may appear harsh by Australian standards. Research local laws before travelling.

Some parts of Niger are not under the control of the government, meaning that militant groups in those areas may dictate what laws and standards apply.

If you're arrested or jailed, the Australian government will do what it can to help you under our  Consular Services Charter . But we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail.

Penalties for possessing, using or trafficking illegal drugs can include heavy fines and/or long jail sentences in Niger. 

• Carrying or using drugs

The death penalty applies to serious crimes, such as murder.

NGOs must register with the Government of Niger before they start their mission. If you work without permission, you could be detained and deported.

It's illegal to take photos of:

• military personnel, zones and assets
• radio and television stations
• the Presidency Building 
• the Kennedy Bridge in Niamey
• political demonstrations

LGBTQIA+  information

It's illegal to perform what the law calls an 'unnatural act' with a person of the same sex and who is under 21. This is punishable by a fine and up to three years in prison.

Same-sex relationships are otherwise legal in Niger. However, there is a strong stigma against them within the local community and no local recognition of same-sex couples.

• Advice for LGBTQIA+  travellers

Australian laws

Some Australian criminal laws still apply when you're overseas. If you break these laws, you may face prosecution in Australia.

• Staying within the law and respecting customs

Dual citizenship

Niger doesn't recognise dual nationality.

If you enter Niger with a Nigerien passport, local authorities will treat you as a Nigerien citizen. This limits the  consular services  we can give if you're arrested or detained.

Always travel on your  Australian passport .

• Dual nationals

Local customs

Respect religious and cultural customs and laws.

Ask for permission before taking photos of locals.

Dress standards

Standards of dress and behaviour are generally conservative. Take care not to offend.

If you're a woman, consider wearing a headscarf and loose clothes that cover your arms and legs, especially where locals are doing so.

If you're not sure, get local advice.

The Islamic holy month of  Ramadan  is observed in Niger. 

It's illegal to eat, drink and smoke in public during daylight hours in Ramadan. If you're not fasting, avoid eating, drinking or smoking in front of people who are.

Explore our  Ramadan  page to learn more, including dates for Ramadan.

Visas and border measures

Every country or territory decides who can enter or leave through its borders. For specific information about the evidence you'll need to enter a foreign destination, check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination you're entering. 

If, despite our advice, you travel to Niger, you'll need a visa in advance of travel to enter the country.

Border measures

Entry and exit conditions can change at short notice. Contact the nearest  embassy or consulate of Niger  for details about visas, currency, customs and quarantine rules.

Other formalities

Yellow fever vaccination.

You'll need a valid  yellow fever  vaccination certificate to enter Niger. Some airlines may ask to see it before boarding a flight to or from Niger.

Find out about returning to Australia  after exposure to yellow fever .

• Countries with a risk of yellow fever

Some countries won't let you enter unless your passport is valid for 6 months after you plan to leave that country. This can apply even if you're just transiting or stopping over.

Some foreign governments and airlines apply the rule inconsistently. Travellers can receive conflicting advice from different sources.

You can end up stranded if your passport is not valid for more than 6 months.

The Australian Government does not set these rules. Check your passport's expiry date before you travel. If you're not sure it'll be valid long enough, consider getting a  new passport .

Lost or stolen passport

Your passport is a valuable document. It's attractive to people who may try to use your identity to commit crimes.

Some people may try to trick you into giving them your passport. Always keep it in a safe place.

If your passport is lost or stolen, tell the Australian Government as soon as possible:

• In Australia, contact the  Australian Passport Information Service .
• If you're overseas, contact the nearest  Australian embassy or consulate

Passport with 'X' gender identifier

Although Australian passports comply with international standards for sex and gender, we can't guarantee that a passport showing an 'X' in the sex field will be accepted for entry or transit by another country. Contact the  nearest  embassy, high commission or consulate of your destination  before you arrive at the border to confirm if authorities will accept passports with 'X' gender markers.

• LGBTQIA+ travellers

The local currency is the West African CFA Franc (XOF).

Only change money at a reputable exchange bureau.

Australian dollars aren't accepted. You can convert US dollars and euros to XOF.

Cash traveller's cheques at commercial banks. You'll need to show the original receipt and your passport.

Be aware that:

• Niger is a cash-based society
• ATMs are not readily available
• credit cards are rarely accepted, even in major hotels and restaurants

Bring enough cash to cover your needs.

Local travel

Restrictions on travel.

Several roads in Niger are closed for travel, except with special authorisation.

Without these authorisations, you could be arrested and deported.

Unexploded weapons, improvised explosive devices and landmines are a risk throughout the country. Armed groups are known to target convoys travelling on major routes using such weapons.

Driving permit

You can drive in Niger with a valid Australian driver's licence and an International Driving Permit (IDP). You must get your IDP before you leave Australia. You must get a local licence if you're staying longer than 3 months.

Road travel

Other than a few main routes, most roads are in bad condition or unsealed, including within Niamey.

Dangers include:

• poor vehicle maintenance
• poor street lighting
• hazardous local driving habits

Roads can be dangerous, with traffic including

• pedestrians

Checkpoints are common across Niger, including in Niamey.

Carry your vehicle registration and ownership papers, as well as necessary permits. Authorities may ask for these at any time, especially outside main towns.

There's no roadside assistance.

Before you drive, check your insurance covers you and learn local traffic laws and practices.

If, despite our advice, you have to travel by road:

• carry sufficient fuel and drinking water for longer than your intended journey
• avoid driving at night
• carry photo ID, vehicle registration and ownership papers
• keep car windows up and doors locked, even when moving
• stay on marked roads
• have multiple forms of communication, mobile coverage can be patchy
• seek professional security advice and arrange appropriate security measures.

If, despite our advice, you travel to Niger :

• get local advice on road and security conditions before you travel
• leave your travel itinerary with a reliable person
• drive only in daylight hours
• drive in a convoy and with adequate security, including the use of armoured vehicles
• travel in well-maintained vehicles
• carry a satellite phone and first-aid kit
• Driving or riding

Motorcycles

Ensure your travel insurance covers you when using a motorbike, quad bike or similar vehicle.

Always wear a helmet.

Don't use local taxis. They are generally old and in poor condition. Ride-sharing services are unreliable. Both have poor safety standards and pose a risk of petty crime.

We recommend hiring a private car with a professional driver. Travelling in an armoured vehicle is the safest option.

Public transport

Don't use public transport. It is often unsafe due to unqualified and uninsured drivers, poor vehicle maintenance and overcrowding.

Roads are in poor condition, and there's a risk of violent crime or terrorism. Public transport has been targeted by criminal gangs and armed groups in the past.

DFAT doesn't provide information on the safety of individual commercial airlines or flight paths.

Check  Niger's air safety profile  with the Aviation Safety Network.

Dust storms are common during the "Harmattan" season (December to February). Flights can be re-routed when visibility is poor.

Emergencies

Depending on what you need, in the first instance, you should contact your:

• family and friends
• travel agent
• insurance provider

Call 15 or 20 72 31 41 and ask for an ambulance or go directly to a hospital. Ambulances may be slow to respond.

Call 17 or 20 72 25 53 or go to the nearest police station.

These phone numbers often go unanswered, especially outside normal working hours. Sometimes, police may be slow to respond to reports of criminal activity or may not investigate them at all.

Always try to get a police report when you report a crime.

Your insurer should have a 24-hour emergency number.

Consular contacts

Read the  Consular Services Charter  for what the Australian Government can and can't do to help you overseas.

Australia doesn't have an embassy or consulate in Niger.

You can access limited consular services from the Australian High Commission in Nigeria.  The Australian High Commission in Abuja has very limited capacity to provide consular assistance in Niger.

Australian High Commission, Abuja

Regional risks

This section has safety advice for regions of Niger. It only covers regions where FCDO has specific advice.

You should also read FCDO ’s overall travel advice and safety and security advice .

Northern and eastern Niger

Local authorities are extremely sensitive about foreigners travelling out of Tahoua to other parts of Niger in the east and the north.

These roads in northern Niger are permanently closed to tourists, except with special authorisation:

• Chirfa (Djado) / Djanet (Algeria)
• Achouloma (north Djado) / Salvador Pass (Libya)
• Adrar Bous (north Aïr) / Djanet (Algeria)
• Adrar Bous (north Aïr) / In Azawa (Algeria)
• Agadez / Arlit / Iferouane
• Agadez / Tahoua

The MNJ armed group has launched attacks in the north including the use of landmines, and Islamist terrorist groups have previously launched attacks in Agadez, Arlit and against a prison in Niamey. Attacks against tourists are known to take place at El Meki between Agadez and Timia. The Aïr and Ténéré regions are particularly prone to attacks.

An official curfew has been implemented by the authorities in the whole of the Diffa region since 2014. Since 2019 this has prohibited the movement of motorised vehicles from 8pm to 6am. There is also a general curfew from 10pm to 6am.

Western Niger

A state of emergency has been in place in the urban municipality of Tillabéri since 2019. The movement of motorbikes and cars is banned from 7pm to 6am, and the movement of pedestrians is banned from 10pm to 6am. Public meetings are banned, unless expressly permitted by the authorities. Defence and security forces are authorised to carry out searches, and to check IDs, both day and night.

Following an attack in 2020 which killed 6 French nationals and 2 Nigeriens in Kouré, Tillabéri, a state of emergency is in place for the whole of Tillabéri apart from Niamey.

A state of emergency has also been in place in Ouallam, Ayorou, Bankilare, Abala and Banibongou (Tillabéri region) and Tassara and Tillia (Tahoua region) since 2017.

Southern Niger

A state of emergency is in place in the states of Borno and Yobe in Nigeria, which border Niger. The border areas of the Maradi region are increasingly prone to banditry. Kidnap for ransom and robberies are commonplace.

In 2020 an American was kidnapped (and later rescued in a US military operation in Nigeria) in Massalata near the border with Nigeria.
