ECOWAS subsequently reported that the AES countries and ECOWAS agreed continued free movement pending a new agreement. - Applies only to nationals of the named ECOWAS State passport issuers holding ordinary passports for the normal visitor baseline. - ECOWAS nationals may enter, circulate, reside, establish and exit subject to national law; AES States retain the power to refuse entry to inadmissible ECOWAS nationals. - The policy does not decide employment, residence administration, commercial vehicle, diplomatic, official/service, refugee, laissez-passer, special-document, transit, crew, health, security or individual-admissibility treatment. - The live MFA assistant's residence/location-dependent ordinary-passport results conflict with this declaration for some ECOWAS nationalities (including Ghana and Cabo Verde). The signed AES declaration and later ECOWAS continuation statement are treated as controlling; the assistant is recorded as a material reconciliation risk.

CG: obtain before departure; no arrival visa. SS: airlines may refuse boarding without a pre-departure visa and France-based applicants use the Paris embassy. CF: the CAR Paris Embassy processes the passport and short-stay application. GQ: no arrival visa and the Paris embassy states required documents.

The DSI's Kosovo Area label records the visa route but does not resolve recognition, routing or border-operation questions. - Purpose, passport validity, carrier requirements and final admission remain subject to the destination authorities.

Official source: - [Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Moldova: Moldova MFA: visa regime for citizens of the Republic of Moldova](https://mfa.gov.md/en/node/4478) - **Current official route — Mauritanian ordinary passports: named reciprocal visa-free short visits** (Visa-free) Mauritania's current MFA records reciprocal visa-waiver agreements, without a diplomatic/service-only limitation, for Libya, Tunisia, Mali, Niger, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau and Chad. - Use a valid Mauritanian ordinary passport. The MFA page expressly limits several other agreements to diplomatic and service passports but does not apply that limitation to these seven named destinations. - The MFA list establishes the visa-waiver route only; it does not establish duration, work, residence, transit, entry point, carrier requirements, document-recognition, mission availability or final admission conditions. - This conclusion rests on Mauritania's named reciprocal agreements, not on ECOWAS membership or a regional free-movement presumption. Official sources: - [Government of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania: Mauritania Government procedures: first ordinary-passport application](https://procedures.gov.mr/fr/defaultservice/view/1588) - [Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and Mauritanians Abroad: Mauritania Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Visa information and reciprocal visa-waiver list](https://diplomatie.gov.mr/index.php/fr/node/50) - **Current official route — Rwandan ordinary passports: named visa-free short visits** (Visa-free) Rwanda DGIE's current ordinary-passport schedule expressly records visa-free access for Bangladesh, Central African Republic, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali and Niger. The Republic of the Congo row is classified separately from the controlling bilateral agreement. - This is limited to the named ordinary-passport rows in Rwanda DGIE's current outbound schedule; it is not inferred from EAC, AU, COMESA, bilateral or regional membership. - For CI, the destination MFA/SNEDAI pages describe a general applicant visa workflow but do not publish a Rwanda-specific override. Rwanda DGIE's passport-specific ordinary row says Visa not required, so the generic applicant route is not normalized as applying to this named visa-free passport. - Purpose, stay period, accepted document, special passports, carrier rules and final admission remain separate.
