You can board a flight to Malawi on a passport from Dominica with no visa. The officer on arrival sets how long you may stay. Immigration will still want to see a return ticket, somewhere to stay, and enough money for the trip.

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.
