Visa for Mali
Hi,
We're planning a trip to Mali around New Year. Where do people think the best place to get a visa is, Paris or Brussels?
Also, do you have any idea of costs, time to issue, validity, contact details of consulate etc.
Btw, we are UK citizens, living in England.
Thanks
Tony

I guess you are flying into Bamako. How about the airport? I got one at the airport in August.

You can get a visa for Mali at Baamako Airport? I never heard about that. Can you give me more details, please? Such as duration of visa, any requirements, cost etc.
Thanks
Tony

Visa for Mali in Brussels cost 30 Euros and takes 3 to 4 days. You have to give the adress were you wil stay, if you don't have one, just ask for a list of hotels in the ambassey.
Acces to the ambassy: from 9.30 to 12.00 on weekdays.

Thanks for that Mark. I tried phoning the embassy in Brussels, but got no answer so it's difficult to find informaiton
Do you know if I also need to provide a character reference / letter of guarantee?
Do you know of any online map of brussels so I can find the embassy.
Thanks again
Tony

Mark,
I forget what the cost was...and I was a little nervous about waiting until I got to Bamako. But, it was very easy and it was a 30 day visa.

[Hi Tony,
I got one with out a worry at the airport was $50USD and for 60 days.
Which is a sight cheaper and easier than going to Brussels.
Cheers

If you're flying, be careful about getting a visa in advance - I've been asked to show my visa at check-in in Europe.
I normally use an agency to obtain my Mali visa.

Tony, Useless to phone to the ambassey in Brussels, tried it several times and even asked by fax to send me a list of necessairy documents for our 30 day visa. No answer. I can send you a copy by mail of the document i received in the ambassey. Nevertheless you will loose several days in Brussels. We did not need need to provide a character reference / letter of guarantee only an adress. You can easily find a map on http://www.viamichelin.com (molierelaan at elsene)
Greetz.
