    Guinea-Bissau: transitional visa-free entry for Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger citizens

    Although Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger withdrew from ECOWAS on 29 January 2025, ECOWAS directs relevant authorities to continue their citizens’ visa-free movement until further notice.

    • The current ECOWAS instruction is expressly transitional and applies until further notice; it must be rechecked for a subsequent ECOWAS Authority decision.
    • The instruction requires recognition of national passports or identity cards bearing the ECOWAS logo. This policy is limited to ordinary passports meeting that document condition and does not classify non-ECOWAS-logo, alien, refugee, emergency or other special travel documents.
    • The source maintains free movement, residence and establishment under ECOWAS protocols; the protocol’s official-entry-point, health-certificate, 90-day visitor extension and inadmissibility conditions remain material.
