Medical e-Visa Extension

A Malawi Medical eVisa can generally be extended, but with conditions.

  • Apply before your current eVisa expires (recommended at least 7-10 days in advance).
  • Submit the request within Malawi; extensions cannot be applied from outside the country.
  • Visit the nearest Malawi Immigration Department office.
  • Apply at major offices, such as the Lilongwe or Blantyre immigration offices.
  • Ensure all documents are ready at the time of submission to avoid delays.

Extension is never guaranteed, and if the request is not approved, the visitor must leave Malawi before their current e-Visa expires.
