New visa rules

The Federal Foreign Office in Berlin has just posted this information on the net:

Visa

German nationals do not yet require a visa to enter Malawi.
The government of Malawi announced at the beginning of December that it intends to introduce visa fees for German nationals. The relevant regulations have not yet been issued or published.
There have been cases in which border officials have already insisted on payment of USD 50 per person on entry.

  • Insist on a proper receipt if you are asked to pay visa fees.
  • Immediately after entering the country, check the length of stay entered in the entry stamp on your passport and apply for an extension of your stay within the specified period in order to avoid overstay fees.

  • If you have any further questions, please contact the relevant Malawian diplomatic mission abroad.

Malawi has voted – the winner has been determined

Contrary to some expectations, the presidential election on September 16th has produced a clear winner, meaning that a run-off vote is no longer necessary. 85-year-old Prof. Peter Arthur Mutharika (DPP) was elected as the new president with 56.8% of the vote. He had already been president from 2014-2020. The voter turnout was 76.4%. The previous incumbent Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera (MCP) only achieved 33.0%.

Of the other 15 candidates, only Dr Dalitso Kabambe (UTM) with 4.0%, Atupele Austin Muluzi (UDF) with 1.9% and former President Dr Joyce Hilda Banda (PP) with 1.6% received more than one percent of all votes.

When it was already clear during the vote count that he had lost the election, President Chakwera released this statement
