Cyprus passport Malawi

Do Cypriot citizens need a visa for Malawi?

No visa needed.

Visa free 30d

You can board a flight to Malawi on a passport from Cyprus with no visa. You may stay up to 30 days per visit. Immigration will still want to see a return ticket, somewhere to stay, and enough money for the trip.

Status

Stay permitted

Government fee
Nothing to pay
Typical decision
No application

There is nothing to apply for and nothing to pay.

Book your flight. Any site offering to sell you a Malawi visa, permit or "travel authorisation" for this trip is selling you something you do not need.

If you are travelling on a different passport, Malawi's official entry rules are at evisa.gov.mw.

What Malawi asks for

  • Scanned copies of your passport and photo (camera photos are not accepted)

Worth knowing

  • Malawi's e-Visa fee is paid by Visa or Mastercard in US dollars and is not refunded if the application is rejected.
  • Since 24 February 2026 some nationalities can get a visa on arrival, while others must get a visa before departure. Malawi still encourages applying online at evisa.gov.mw before you travel.

How long it takes

The e-Visa's validity starts from the date of issue, not the date you enter.
