## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — ECOWAS transitional visa-free movement for Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger** (Visa-free)
  Although Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger withdrew from ECOWAS, its current official transition statement directs all ECOWAS member-state authorities to continue visa-free movement for their citizens until further notice.
  - The ECOWAS instruction is expressly temporary: it applies until further notice.
  - The Gambia is a current ECOWAS Member State and is within the authorities addressed by the instruction.
  - This is limited to the ordinary visitor-access baseline; other admission conditions remain outside scope.
