🇰🇷South Korea🇲🇼MalawiKR-MW South Korea to Malawi visa requirements
South Korean ordinary passport holders need a visa for Malawi. The recommended route is the official Malawi eVisa, applied for online before travel at evisa.gov.mw. A single-entry tourist eVisa costs USD 75 and allows a short tourist stay. As of mid-2026, South Korea is not on Malawi's visa-exempt list. A short-term visa waiver introduced in 2024 was revoked effective 2-3 January 2026, so most nationalities, including South Korea, now require a visa again. South Korean ordinary passport holders should obtain a tourist eVisa through the official Department of Immigration portal (evisa.gov.mw) before departure. The single-entry tourist visa costs USD 75, is valid for about 90 days from issue, permits a single entry, and is typically processed within roughly 3 to 5 working days. While Malawi technically grants visa-on-arrival to certain "Category Two" nationals, sources do not clearly confirm South Korea among them, so the conservative and reliable route is the pre-arranged eVisa. Passports must be valid for at least six months and have blank pages, and travelers should carry proof of onward travel and accommodation.
