## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — German ordinary passports: Niger advance visitor visa** (Visa required)
  Niger's current official guidance requires ordinary German-passport holders to file an entry-visa application with a Niger mission before short visitor travel.
  - The live Niger Embassy notice expressly names ordinary German-passport holders and directs them to lodge visa applications at Niger missions in Geneva, Ankara or Moscow.
  - Niger's Foreign Ministry states that normal filing is at a mission from the applicant's residence and gives a 15-day issuance time.
  - A border visa is exceptional, requires Interior Ministry authorisation, and is limited to departure from a country without a Niger diplomatic or consular mission; it is not the normal visitor baseline.
  - Diplomatic, service, transit, bilateral or community-exempt, residence, work and final-admission treatment are outside this classification.
