Malawi Travel Update 2026: VAT increase and new foreign currency payment rules

Malawi has introduced several economic and policy changes affecting international visitors in 2026. Alongside the country’s new reciprocal visa policy, travellers should now also plan for a VAT increase to 17.5% and a requirement to pay accommodation in foreign currency.

VAT increase to 17.5%

From 01 January 2026, Malawi increased its standard VAT rate from 16.5% to 17.5%.
Travellers can expect a small price increase across tourism services such as:

• Hotels and lodges
• Safaris and guided tours
• Transport and restaurant meals

The impact is modest but worth factoring into your travel budget.

Accommodation must be paid in foreign currency

Malawi now requires foreign visitors to pay hotel and lodge bills in hard currency, typically:

• US Dollars (USD)
• Euros (EUR)
• British Pounds (GBP)

This applies to hotels, safari lodges and camps nationwide. While many properties already priced in USD, the rule now formalises this practice.

Why the rule was introduced

Malawi is currently experiencing a shortage of foreign currency. Tourism is a key source of hard currency, and the government wants tourism revenue to flow directly into official reserves.

How to prepare for Malawi travel in 2026

What this means for travellers

• Expect accommodation prices to be quoted and charged in USD or EUR
• International credit cards are increasingly accepted and preferred
• Bring some foreign currency as a backup
• Use Malawi Kwacha (MWK) for daily expenses such as restaurants, transport, markets and tips

Bottom line for travellers

• VAT: now 17.5% > small overall price increase
• Accommodation: payable in foreign currency
• Daily spending: still in Malawi Kwacha (MWK)

With basic payment planning, Malawi remains an easy and rewarding destination for safaris, Lake Malawi holidays and overland travel.

Malawi introduces reciprocal eVisa policy: What travellers need to know!

Travellers planning a trip to Malawi in 2026 and beyond should be aware of an important change to the country’s visa and entry requirements. Malawi has officially implemented its reciprocal visa policy, supported by an electronic visa (eVisa) system, significantly altering who can enter the country visa-free.
The new policy affects many international travellers, particularly those from Europe, North America, and other long-haul markets that were previously granted visa-free access. The policy was officially gazetted by Minister of Homeland Security Peter Mukhito on 02 January 2026.

What is Malawi’s reciprocal visa policy?

Malawi’s reciprocal visa policy is based on a simple principle: countries that require visas for Malawian citizens will now face similar requirements when entering Malawi.
Visa-free entry has therefore been reduced to nationals of countries that offer Malawians visa-free or visa-on-arrival access. Travellers from non-reciprocal countries must now apply for a visa before travelling, primarily through Malawi’s official eVisa system.
This marks a clear reversal of the broad visa-free regime introduced in 2024.

Who needs a visa to visit Malawi now?

Under the new rules, many travellers who previously entered Malawi without a visa must now obtain an eVisa in advance. This includes travellers from major tourism source markets such as:

• United Kingdom
• United States
• Canada
• Most European Union countries
• Australia

Countries that remain visa-free

Visa-free access remains in place for 22 non-regional countries, namely:

• Antigua and Barbuda
• Bahamas
• Barbados
• Belize
• Benin
• Dominica
• Ecuador
• Fiji
• Gambia
• Ghana
• Grenada
• Haiti
• Hong Kong
• Jamaica
• Kiribati
• Malaysia
• Philippines
• Singapore
• St. Lucia
• St. Vincent and the Grenadines
• Trinidad and Tobago
• Vanuatu

Regional and Institutional Exemptions
The following exemptions continue to apply under specific conditions:

• SADC and COMESA: Nationals are exempt only where reciprocal visa-free arrangements exist. Exemptions do not apply if visas are required of Malawian citizens.
• Laissez-Passer Holders: UN, AU, SADC, COMESA, and African Development Bank Laissez-Passer holders travelling on official business remain exempt.
• Diplomatic and Service Passports: Exempt unless the holder’s home country requires visas from Malawian diplomatic or service passport holders.

Travellers should verify their exemption status carefully, as assumptions may lead to denied boarding.

Malawi eVisa: How the system works

Malawi now requires most affected travellers to apply through its official electronic visa platform prior to arrival.
Key points travellers should be aware of:

• Visa-on-arrival is no longer guaranteed for affected nationalities
• Airlines may refuse boarding without proof of an approved eVisa
• Applications should be submitted well in advance of departure

Malawi Visa Types and Fees

The eVisa system offers several visa options depending on travel purpose and duration:

• Transit Visa: USD 50
• Single-Entry Tourist Visa: USD 50
• Multiple-Entry Visa (6 months): USD 150
• Multiple-Entry Visa (12 months): USD 250

Visa validity, permitted length of stay, and entry conditions are determined by immigration authorities at the time of approval.

Documents Travellers Should Prepare

When travelling to Malawi under the new visa regime, visitors should carry:

• A passport valid for at least six months
• A printed copy of the approved eVisa
• Proof of accommodation
• Proof of onward or return travel
• Evidence of sufficient funds

Immigration checks may be stricter during the transition period as the new policy is enforced.

What This Means for Tourism in Malawi

Malawi remains committed to tourism growth, particularly in eco-tourism, wildlife experiences, cultural travel, and Lake Malawi holidays. While the new visa policy introduces an additional administrative step for some travellers, authorities have framed it as a matter of fairness and international parity, rather than restriction.

For travellers, the change primarily means planning ahead, rather than spontaneous travel.

Practical Advice for Travellers

If you are planning a trip to Malawi:

• Check visa requirements as early as possible
• Apply for an eVisa before booking flights
• Allow additional processing time
• Ensure all travel documents are complete

Tour operators and travel agents are also advised to update pre-departure information to reflect the new entry rules.

For most travellers, Malawi remains easily accessible - provided the new visa requirements are addressed before departure.

Malawi plans reciprocal visa policy: Major source markets could lose visa-free access!

Malawi’s Minister of Finance, Joseph Mwanmvekha, announced in the 2025–26 Mid-Year Budget Review Statement on 21 November 2025 that the country plans to revoke visa-free entry for most previously exempt nationalities. According to the announcement, “visa-free access to Malawi is being revoked with immediate effect and visa application fees will apply on a reciprocity basis.”

Under the proposed policy, travellers from countries that require Malawian nationals to obtain a visa will now need to apply for a Malawian visa prior to travel. Visa fees will also be aligned with what the traveller’s home country charges Malawian citizens. Only nationals of countries that offer Malawians visa-free entry will continue to access Malawi without a visa.

This change could have significant implications for tourism. Some of Malawi’s most important long-haul source markets -  including Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, the Netherlands, France, Australia and Canada - may lose visa-free access if they do not offer Malawians the same privilege. Tourism stakeholders caution that stricter entry requirements, longer lead times for visa approvals and higher costs could dampen demand during peak travel periods. Tour operators may also need to adjust itineraries and booking processes, potentially affecting travel confidence and regional multi-country packages that include Malawi. 

However, according to Joseph Nkosi, Public Relations Officer at the Ministry of Tourism, the reciprocity proposal must still be tabled before Malawi's Parliament before it can take effect. [src]

Current Malawian visa fees range from US$50 for a seven-day transit visa to US$75 for a single-entry visa valid for up to 90 days.

Namibia: Visa on Arrival (VoA) system updated!

The Namibian Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security has announced another update to its Visa on Arrival (VoA) system, effective as of 01 April 2025. Previously, travellers holding an eVisa still needed to complete an additional VoA form upon arrival in Namibia. This extra step has now been removed to streamline the entry process.
The eVisa now automatically functions as a Visa on Arrival (VoA) form. This means that travellers with a valid eVisa can proceed directly to immigration clearance upon arrival, with no further administrative steps required. All payments and documentation are handled in advance, simplifying travel and reducing entry wait times.
The updated visa fee structure has been published in Government Gazette No. 8613. It includes revised fees for travellers and families travelling with children visiting Namibia:

For Nationals of African Countries:

• Standard visa fee: NAD 1,200.00 (approx. USD 70)
• Children aged 6 – 11 years: NAD 600.00 (approx. USD 35)
• Children under 6 years: exempt from visa fees

For Nationals of Other Countries:

• Standard visa fee: NAD 1,600.00 (approx. USD 90)
• Children aged 6 – 11 years: NAD 800.00 (approx. USD 45)
• Children under 6 years: exempt from visa fees

Travellers are encouraged to apply for an eVisa before departure to ensure a seamless and hassle-free arrival in Namibia.

To harmonize Namibia's immigration policies, the Cabinet has approved a standardized fee structure for holiday visas, short-term employment permits, and visa-on-arrival requests:

• N$1,200.00 – Travelers from African Union (AU) countries
• N$1,600.00 – Travelers from non-African Union countries

Mozambique introduced new visa requirements for tourists

update (20 Feb 2013): Tourism portal "Tourism Update" is reporting about the "new" visa regulations in Mozambique today and is pointing out, that the visa regulations have, in fact, not changed but the existing regulations will be enforced more strictly at the borders following some problems with illegal immigrants. The portal is also quoting a spokesperson for the Mozambique High Commission in Pretoria saying that border visas will only be issued to people travelling for purposes of tourism who are coming from countries where there is no Mozambican consular representation. Travellers from countries that have a Mozambique consulate will need to apply for a tourism visa before travelling.
On the other hand, "Tourism Update" got information from ACIS, a Mozambican non-profit business association, that there is room for approval of a border visa for travellers who have not had time to apply for a visa if they can demonstrate that they have an urgent need for the visa. However the issue of a visa in this case is discretionary.
It still seems advisable to contact your next consulate of Mozambique before travelling there...

(update 19 Feb 2013): Important update for travellers from countries where Mozambique does not have a consulate, such as Australia: Australians, who want to travel to Mozambique, have to arrange a (min.) three-day stopover in Johannesburg/Pretoria, or mail their passports to the United Kingdom for their visa application while still in Australia.

According to the African Travel & Tourism Association (ATTA) and Jenman Safaris, Mozambique has introduced new visa requirements for tourists. All visas to enter the country must now be applied for and obtained before travel to enter Mozambique. It is not possible anymore for tourist to purchase the popular non-renewable single-entry visa with a validity of 30 days right at the border (land borders and airports). In a news update issued on 13 Feb 2013, ATTA is mentioning that there have [already] been a number of recent reports of visitors being refused this service, resulting in them being turned back from border posts and airports.
The new new visa requirements apply to citizens and nationals of all countries except citizens of the following: Botswana, Malawi, Mauritius, Swaziland, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe as they do not require an entry visa when traveling to Mozambique for Tourism.
For more information regarding visa applications and personal information required, contact your nearest Mozambican embassy or consulate.

Uganda to change visa requirements from June 2011
