Mali visas

Whether you need a visa to enter Mali depends on your nationality and the purpose and length of your stay: citizens of some countries are exempt, while most other travellers must obtain a visa before arrival. Visas are issued by Malian diplomatic and consular missions under the Ministère des Affaires Étrangères et de la Coopération Internationale, while entry control, residence permits and naturalisation involve the Police Nationale (Ministry of Security and Civil Protection) and Malian law. Always confirm the current rules for your nationality with an official Malian mission before you travel, as requirements can change.
