Entry/Exit Requirements
"A passport, return ticket, and adequate funds are required.
U.S. citizens traveling to Malawi for tourism, transit or business
for 30 days or less can obtain a visa at the airports or border
points of entry. The 30-day visa may be extended up to an additional
60 days by the Malawi Department of Immigration prior to expiration.
There is no guarantee your request will be granted.
Americans wishing to volunteer, study, conduct research or business
for more than 90 days in Malawi are responsible for requesting the
correct type of visa from the Malawian Embassy or Consulate, prior
to traveling to Malawi. There is no guarantee requests for changing
one's immigration category (e.g., from tourist to Temporary Employment
Permit) will be granted. Foreign citizens whose primary purpose
of travel is to participate in religious activities (voluntary or
paid) should obtain a Temporary Employment Visa (TEP) rather than
a tourist visa through their sponsoring organization or business.
Malawian immigration authorities have fined, arrested, and deported
American citizens who entered Malawi with a tourist visa and conducted
other business or volunteer services.
American citizens are reminded that they are subject to Malawi’s
laws. Persons that overstay their visa expiration date even unknowingly
have been fined, arrested and deported." - US State Dept
