Under which circumstances can the person reside: worker, self-employed, student, jobseeker, self-funded person or another recognised basis?
Visa-free entry is a visit of up to ninety (90) days; a citizen who needs to stay longer must obtain permission for an extension of stay. A Community citizen admitted without visa who wishes to reside must obtain an ECOWAS Residence Card or Residence Permit.

What entry, registration or residence-document formalities remain?
Entrants must possess a valid travel document (a passport or other valid travel document with photograph issued by their Member State) and an international health certificate. Member States may refuse admission to a Community citizen who is an inadmissible immigrant under their laws.
