There is a small country in Africa where the landscape whisks you away. Home to several national parks, safaris, Lake Malawi, and some of the nicest people you will ever meet, Malawi is a paradise tucked away in a tiny pocket of the world. Their main exports are tea and tobacco; fields upon fields are scattered across the country.
Beninese citizens are able to visit this tiny haven of Africa by applying for an e-visa. E-visas are distributed by the Malawian Immigration Department. When you apply with iVisa, we deal directly with the embassy so you don't have to.
