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.

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.
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 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.
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.
Avoiding these mistakes will help your application proceed smoothly.
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.
Our service focuses on compliance and accuracy. We help Belgian travellers navigate the requirements and provide a clear interface for document uploads. Our goal is to make the preparation for your trip as easy as possible.
