Malawi has removed Visa restrictions for citizens from the UK, China, Russia, Germany, Australia, Canada, Belgium, Ghana, Gambia, Sierra Leone, France, and others.
The exemption extends to nations that do not impose visa requirements on Malawian citizens.
Under the new visa regulations, multiple entry visas in Malawi now have a validity period of up to 12 months.
Homeland Security Minister Ken Zikhałe announced the amendment of immigration regulations, revealing that visa restrictions were lifted for citizens from countries that are crucial source markets for international tourism and business travellers in a bid to alleviate the current scarcity of foreign currency.
Citizens from the Southern African Development Community (Sadc) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa) are also free from visa requirements.
The exemption extends to nations that do not impose visa requirements on Malawian citizens.
Currently, Seychelles, Gambia, Kenya, Rwanda, and Benin are the only countries where every African can visit without a visa.
