U.S. Embassy in Niger Reopens, Resuming Full Operations.
The U.S. Embassy in Niamey, Republic of Niger, has announced the resumption of all previously suspended operations, effective immediately. This includes the full restoration of visa services and other consular assistance for travelers and U.S. citizens.
The embassy had temporarily closed its consular section on December 31st, 2024, suspending routine services. A recent statement confirmed the reopening and a commitment to delivering high-quality and secure services to the public.
This resumption occurs amidst strained relations between the United States and Niger following the 2023 military coup. While the U.S. has consistently advocated for the restoration of democratic governance, the embassy’s reopening signals a continued commitment to providing essential services and maintaining diplomatic engagement within the evolving political landscape.
