Libya eVisa for Nigerien citizens: Smart travel starts here

We’ll walk you through the steps, documents, and what to expect once you arrive.

Do Nigerien citizens need a visa for Libya?

Yes, citizens of Niger need a visa to enter Libya. Libya shares a land border with Niger, but border travel isn't always reliable due to security or administrative changes.

The Libya eVisa allows you to enter the country using official land borders, seaports, and international airports. Many Nigeriens choose to fly into Tripoli or Benghazi for a more predictable arrival.

Important: Libya entry restrictions for certain stamps

Libya has a strict entry ban on passports containing Israeli visas or entry/exit stamps. This rule applies regardless of your eVisa status.

If your passport has any Israeli markings—even from transit—you may be denied entry. Be sure to check before applying or consider renewing your passport if necessary.

What documents are required for a Libya eVisa?

1. A Nigerien passport that’s valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date in Libya. It should also have at least one blank page for visa stamps.

2. A color passport photo taken against a white background. It should be recent (taken within the last six months).

3. A copy of your sponsor’s passport if someone else is paying for your trip, such as a family member, employer, or host in Libya.

4. A cover letter from your sponsor explaining who they are, why they are sponsoring your trip, and their contact details. This should match the details provided in your application.

5. You must declare that you have at least 1,000 Libyan Dinars (approximately USD $210) to cover your stay.
