## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Sierra Leone: Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger ordinary passports — ECOWAS transitional visa-free movement** (Visa-free)
  Although Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger are no longer shown on ECOWAS’s current twelve-State roster, ECOWAS’s withdrawal transition instruction requires Member-State authorities to continue visa-free movement for citizens of all three until further notice. Sierra Leone is an ECOWAS Member State.
  - This is a temporary ECOWAS transition, not a current membership classification. It remains subject to a contrary later notice, ordinary admission controls, travel-document and health requirements.
  - Article 3 supplies a maximum 90-day visitor scope and requires a valid travel document and international health certificate; Article 4 preserves public-order and inadmissibility controls.
  - It does not establish residence, work, transit, crew, diplomatic, official, service or special-document treatment.
