🇳🇪 Niger Business Visa
Turkish citizens who plan to travel to Niger for business purposes are required to obtain a visa. Holders of Ordinary (Bordeaux), Special (Green), and Service (Gray) passports are subject to visa requirements, while only holders of Diplomatic (Black) passports are exempt from visas for stays up to 90 days. Since Niger does not have a visa-on-arrival system, all visa procedures must be completed prior to travel.
With Marsel Visa, there is no obligation for personal attendance at the consulate during Niger business visa applications. Once you deliver your documents to us, they will be checked, your application will be processed immediately, and once approved, your passport will be securely delivered to your address.
