After temporary closure, U.S. embassy in Niger Republic restores services

Published on March 21, 2025 at 02:35 AM

The U.S. Embassy in the Republic of Niger has reopened after being closed for a long period.

The reopening includes the full resumption of all previously suspended operations.

American diplomats in Niger will now continue providing visa services and other consular assistance to travelers.

A statement issued by the embassy on Wednesday confirmed the resumption of diplomatic activities, including visa processing, support for U.S. citizens residing in Niger, and assistance for those applying for U.S. visas.

A press release by the embassy on 31st December 2024, reads “we announces the temporary closure of our Consular Section. At this time, all routine consular services -including all visa services, U.S. passport processing, and birth registrations -are suspended. We look forward to resuming normal operations as soon as possible and will provide updates as the situation evolves”.

The embassy reaffirmed its commitment to delivering high-quality and secure services to the public.

The relationship between the United States and Niger has been strained since the military coup that ousted democratically elected President Mohamed Bazoum in 2023. The coup led to a shift in governance, with the military taking control, causing diplomatic friction between Niger and its international allies, including the U.S.

This tension has affected cooperation in various sectors, including security and economic partnerships. The U.S. has consistently called for the restoration of democratic rule, while Niger's military government has sought to assert its independence in international relations.
