Entry requirements

  • Both Malawi and Eswatini are COMESA member states.
  • Malawi offers 90-day visas on arrival for COMESA nationals as part of the COMESA Protocol on the Gradual Relaxation and Eventual Elimination of Visa Requirements.
  • Malawi's 2024 Immigration (Amendment) Regulations state that visas are required for entry into Malawi except for specified countries and 'nationals from the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA)', except where those countries subject Malawians to a visa requirement.
  • Malawi requires a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate for travellers arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission.

Stay

COMESA nationals are granted 90-day visas on arrival. If a traveller's circumstances fall outside the visa exemption (e.g., reciprocity restrictions apply), Malawi's official eVisa system can be used to check eligibility and apply where required.

Passport

Valid passport with at least 6 months validity remaining.

Health — Yellow fever

Yellow fever vaccination certificate required for travellers arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission.

Visa/entry rules can change and may be affected by reciprocity and traveller circumstances. Always verify with official Malawian sources and your airline before travel.
