ECOWAS later reported that its members and the three AES States agreed continuing 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. - AES States retain power, under national law, to refuse entry to ECOWAS nationals falling within inadmissible-immigrant categories. - The current MFA rule treats airport transit without leaving airport limits separately, and only permits a point-of-entry visa exceptionally on Interior Minister authorization for a person departing a country without a Niger mission; neither is a nationality-wide visitor route. - This policy does not decide residence administration, employment, commercial vehicle, diplomatic, official/service, refugee, laissez-passer, special-document, health, security or individual-admissibility treatment.

TD and NE require a visa before arrival/travel. - This does not normalize work, residence, special documents, entry-point, security or final-admission requirements. Official sources: - [Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Turkmenistan Travel Advice & Safety](https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/asia/turkmenistan) - [Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Chad Travel Advice & Safety](https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/africa/chad) - [Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Niger Travel Advice & Safety](https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/africa/niger) - **Current official route — French ordinary passports: named advance visa routes** (Visa required) Current official material establishes advance mission processing or issuance for each listed French ordinary-passport visitor route. - AF: single-entry visas are issued by Afghanistan’s Embassy in France. KP: visa available through the DPRK General Delegation in France. LY: visa before arrival. SD: prior visa. SY: Syrian diplomatic or consular representation issues the visa. 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. GW: French applications go to the Guinea-Bissau Embassy in Paris; its exceptional Bissau-airport route is not the standard France-resident route. LR: France residents apply through the Liberian Embassy. ML: Mali consulates in Paris or Lyon issue it; no arrival visa. NE: prior visa only; no arrival visa. NG: portal submission is followed by physical dossier submission to OIS Paris for processing. TD: diplomatic or consular mission issuance only; no border visa. - This records ordinary French-passport short-visitor routes only and does not normalize travel warnings, operational access, work, residence, special documents or final admission.

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.

Official sources: - [U.S. Department of State: Liberia Travel Advisory](https://travel.state.gov/en/international-travel/travel-advisories/liberia.html) - [U.S. Department of State: Niger Travel Advisory](https://travel.state.gov/en/international-travel/travel-advisories/niger.html) - **Current official route — British citizen passports: specified advance visitor visas** (Visa required) Current FCDO guidance establishes an ordinary British-citizen visitor visa application through the stated embassy or advance process for the listed destinations. - KP: tourist travel is normally organised and the visa application is sent directly to the North Korean Embassy; current general-entry restrictions remain material. - TD, CG, GW, LR and NE: FCDO directs the British-citizen visitor to the named embassy/consular application route before travel. - IR: apply well in advance; a British-passport applicant must use an organised tour or an Iranian sponsor. Kish Island is a distinct travel-agency/approval-before-arrival exception, not a general waiver.

This is neither a visa on arrival nor an eVisa merely because an application may be initiated online. - Work, residence, NGO registration, transit, special documents, carrier checks and final admission remain separate. Official sources: - [Global Affairs Canada: Mali travel advice](https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/mali) - [Global Affairs Canada: Niger travel advice](https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/niger) - **Current official route — Spanish ordinary passports: Niger advance visitor visa** (Visa required) MAEC says Spanish travellers obtain Niger’s entry visa at the Embassy in Brussels and cannot obtain it at airport or land border. - The exceptional invitation-based flying-visa procedure is conditional and does not displace the normal advance embassy baseline. - Security, purpose, documents and final admission remain applicable.
