Malawi is currently emerging rapidly as one of Africa’s most complete destinations and this new visa system, making it even easier to visit the Warm Heart of Africa, will give it yet another boost. For a long time Malawi’s stunning beaches, beautiful and varied landscapes and fascinating and friendly cultural experiences have been some of the best that Africa has to offer. The wildlife transformations currently underway courtesy of African Parks’ amazing conservation work are not only creating safari experiences that match the high quality of the country’s other attractions but are also bringing worldwide attention to this hidden gem, not least courtesy of African Parks’ president HRH Prince Harry. These developments, exposure and now simplified entry will be sure to accelerate Malawi’s tourism growth.
Please note that Visa to Malawi only grants permission to the traveller to enter Malawi within the validity period of the Visa subject to fulfilling other entry requirements. The validity period of the Visa is not necessarily the permitted days to stay/reside in Malawi. Number of days/residential permit to legally stay in Malawi is issued at the port of entry or on application at the Malawi Immigration Headquarters.
