Entry requirements

This page has information on travelling to Mali.

This page reflects the UK government’s understanding of current rules for people travelling on a full ‘British Citizen’ passport from the UK, for the most common types of travel.

The authorities in Mali set and enforce entry rules. If you’re unsure how Mali’s entry requirements apply to you, contact its UK embassy, high commission or consulate.

Following the military takeover in neighbouring Niger in July 2023, regional land and air travel has been affected. Some flights are being cancelled at short notice, so please check with your airline before departure.

Check your passport and travel documents before you travel

Visas

You need a visa to enter Mali. You can apply for single and multiple entry visas from the Embassy in Brussels.

Passport validity

Your passport should be valid for the proposed duration of your stay. No additional period of validity beyond this is required.

Yellow fever certificate requirements

You must have evidence of a valid Yellow Fever vaccination certification on arrival in Mali. You will likely need to present this to health officials at the airport/border crossing.
