Mali visa declined for french in Mauritania
 

Hi guys a quick info , today we got our visa declined for Mali at the Nouakchott consulate . they use the old excuse due to the conflict between France and Mali (2012) , we checked the info were right , french are not OK to cross border via land normally. the person there proposed to us to buy two plane tickets in order to get us the visa (120 Euro each) so I said no and will try our best in Dakar. the corrupt officer at the consulate was looking for a nice bribe but that was a bit much for us.

Interesting ... will follow!

I was told not to cross directly by Mauritanians, as they were concerned about Ayoun el Atrous and the 100km into Mali, in December 2016

Mali Embassy in Fann, Dakar, just off the Corniche very laid back, friendly, got mine done in 4hours

So perhaps it is all about getting a nice little bribe.
Only French then? Never heard of it before.
I would not be happy about having to go to Dakar just to enter Mali.

I guess the good old Mali visa at the border is not available anywhere?

Visa Mauritania
 

Dakar it will be , better spend the bribe s money on good senegalaise food

Got Mali visa this morning in. Nouakchott - Irish passports, took 2.5 hours. So seemingly not a widespread issue.
