Belgian citizens traveling to Malawi are required to have a visa before entering the Republic of Malawi, per the country's immigration guidelines. But what is an e-visa? An e-visa is a travel document provided by the Malawian government to foreigners for the purposes of identification. E-visas are just digital versions of the regular visa but are provided in a more convenient way.
Your Malawian e-visa application will require documents to be scanned in and has a few restrictions that are enforced by the Malawian government. For instance, your trip to Malawi cannot exceed a period of 90 days per entry. Additionally, your e-visa will expire 90 days after issued.
