The Consulate General

Contact

The Honorary Consulate General of the Republic of Malawi in Mauritius is being established. Until the office address, telephone number and opening hours are confirmed, e-mail is the way to reach us — directly, or through the contact form on this page.

Whether you are a Malawian national who needs assistance, a traveller with a question about entry to Malawi, or a business or institution in Mauritius looking for a contact in Malawi — please write to us.

In an emergency

If life or safety is at risk — a serious accident, a medical emergency, a fire or a crime — call the Mauritian emergency services first: police 999 or 112, ambulance (SAMU) 114, fire and rescue 115. If a Malawian national has been arrested, seriously injured or has died, or if your passport has been lost or stolen, then inform the Consulate General by e-mail. Give your full name, where you are, a telephone number and a short description of what has happened. An emergency telephone number will be published here as soon as it is available.

Writing to Us

A clear first message saves time. Please include:

The service or information you are looking for — for example a passport renewal, an emergency travel document or a question about visas.

No documents yet
Please do not attach passport scans or certificates to your first message. We will tell you what to send, and how.

Contact Form

All fields are required unless marked optional. Messages about consular matters for Malawian nationals go to the consular address; all other enquiries go to the general address.

Visits by Appointment Only

Personal visits to the Consulate General are by prior appointment only. Please do not travel to the office without contacting us first. The office address and opening hours have not yet been published.

Appointments are requested by e-mail: use the contact form above, or write to consular@malawiconsulategeneral.org for consular matters and to info@malawiconsulategeneral.org for all other enquiries. Describe briefly what you need. We will confirm the date and time, which documents to bring and whether a fee applies. An appointment is confirmed only once you have received our reply.

Many matters can be settled without a visit. Visas for Malawi are applied for entirely online, and for most consular services the first step is to check the requirements on the Consular Services page.

The Consulate General is closed on Malawian and Mauritian public holidays. The dates are listed below.
