Niger has imposed an indefinite ban on issuing visas to U.S. citizens and their entry into the country, effective immediately. This decision was announced on December 25, 2025, and is a response to the United States adding Niger to its full travel ban list earlier in December.

The Nigerien government cited reciprocity as the reason for this action. The visa ban reflects escalating tensions between the two nations regarding travel restrictions.
