Belgian citizens looking to explore the "Warm Heart of Africa" must obtain proper travel authorisation. The electronic visa system is designed to provide a convenient way for European travellers to register their visit. This process is entirely digital, removing the need for traditional paper applications.
Belgium is among the countries whose citizens require a visa to enter Malawi. Whether you are arriving for a
safari or a business meeting, the electronic permit must be secured before you depart. It acts as your
official permission to seek entry at the border.
Tourism Stays Ideal for those visiting Lake Malawi or national parks. Usually granted for
short-term stays with
single entry.
Corporate Visits Required for attending meetings or exploring investment opportunities.
May require additional
supporting letters.

Cost and Payment
The fees for the Malawi electronic permit vary based on the duration of the visa. Payment is made through a
secure online gateway during the application process. You can view the current visa fees on our summary page to plan your budget.
Review and Processing Times
Processing times are not fixed and depend on the volume of applications. There are standard,
urgent, and
super-fast tiers available. We recommend choosing a tier that allows for at least a few days of
buffer time
before your flight leaves Brussels.
The Online Application Form
The form requires you to provide your personal details, contact information, and travel dates.
It is
essential that the name on the form exactly matches the name on your passport. Errors in the
passport number
are the most common reason for boarding denials.
Checking Your Status
After submission, you will receive a reference number. Keep this safe, as it allows you to check
the status
of your request through our tracking tool. Once approved, the document will be available for
download.
Common Application Errors
Avoiding these mistakes will help your application proceed smoothly.
Uploading a blurry scan of the passport.
Using a selfie instead of a professional passport photo.
Applying too close to the departure date.
Incorrect passport number entry.
Missing the invitation letter for business trips.
Staying Past the Limit
If your trip needs to be extended, you must apply for a renewal with the Malawian immigration authorities.
Overstaying can lead to legal issues and fines. It is your responsibility to monitor the "stay until" date
stamped in your passport upon arrival.
