Mali Letter of Invitation (Accra)
 

I'm currently Visa shopping in Accra whilst working on the bike.

I went to the Mali embassy and they said a LOI is really needed. Of course I've heard this before and found a way

I'm going to chance my arm tomorrow. But i was also thinking of knocking one up myself. What are people's thoughts? Or is there an easy way to get one asap

Obviously i can reapply in Burkina but always prefer it in the bag to avoid risk

I dont fancy northern CI right now (went through when there was the small rebellion the other week) and nor do i fancy Guinea again with my tyres getting more and more used!

Ill update here whatever and iOverlander

Cheers

Visa acquired in a day with caveats

Usual paperwork required and address. Needs a letter of invitation though. Insistent on this. Eventually agree $100 as opposed to $60.

Get a few phone call throughout the day. First to get me to promise I won't be going to the north. Second and third to negotiate the kind offer of someone prepared to write me a letter of introduction. Long story short, add another $40 to the cost

I'd taken the line I wanted to visit a music festival in Segou. It helped a bit. US$ helped more!

If I did it again I think I'd make my own letter of introduction. Still. Possible in a day
