Nomad Passport Index Ranking
The passport of Niger is currently ranked as 168T, with a total score of 43.00. Niger passport ranking relative to other global passports is calculated by relying on the Niger government's approach not just to travel, but also to international taxation laws, global perception, dual citizenship, and personal freedom as just the number of countries Niger passport holder may visit won't tell the whole story and you will have to deal with far different requirements to pay tax, live freely, comply with regulations, and avoid scrutiny when traveling.

Separate from these 64 destinations, there are 186 additional destinations which Niger passport holders either need a physical visa to enter or an eVisa.
