Malawi visa for Bangladeshis

Malawi runs an official eVisa portal. It says Category One nationals must get a visa or prior authorisation before departure, while Category Two nationals may get a visa on arrival, but it does not show Bangladesh's category in the text we could read on 31 October 2026. Most third-party sources say Bangladeshis need an eVisa, so confirm with our office before applying.

Quick answer: Visa needed?: Probably yes (reported). The portal's category list for Bangladesh could not be read. Use the portal wizard or ask us.. Where to apply: Official eVisa portal evisa.gov.mw; payment by Visa or Mastercard card online.. Confirm before you pay.
