Traveling to Malawi implies a visa application process. Since only 33 nationalities are exempt, all the others need one to cross the Malawian borders. However, in 2019, Malawi joined the countries that have adopted the electronic visa system. Consequently, if you are eligible, you can skip a trip to the embassy and apply for a Malawi eVisa online instead. That is something iVisa can help you with.
