You can board a flight to Malawi on a passport from Netherlands 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
- Visa free
- Stay permitted
- 30 days
- 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.
