→ Mali visa for Malagasy citizens

Embarking on your journey from Madagascar to Mali requires a visa, a process that can typically be completed within 15 days, though the exact duration and an estimated cost of $50 USD may vary. Unlike many West African destinations, Mali mandates this pre-arrival approval for Malagasy citizens, a measure in place since 2010. When planning your trip, consider that Bamako, Mali's capital, operates on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), a difference of three hours behind Antananarivo, and you'll need Malian Francs (XOF) for your expenses.
