Travel insurance for Niger

Some visa services claim insurance is mandatory for Niger and charge you for a policy. We found no official rule behind those claims, so we will not present it as one. Insurance may still be a sensible choice for your trip, but for Niger it is your choice, not an entry rule. We watch for new mandates daily, and this page will say so if one appears.
