Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, absolutely. Whether you're an expat on a UAE residence visa or a UAE national, you can apply for a Malawi visa from Dubai through Green Apple Travel & Tourism. We handle applications directly from the UAE and submit your documents to the Malawi immigration authority without requiring you to visit any visa centre in person. Simply contact us via WhatsApp or visit our office in Bur Dubai to get started, and we'll manage the entire process for you.

You'll need a valid passport (with at least 6 months validity), a recent colour passport-size photograph (4x6 cm), a completed visa application form, and proof of accommodation in Malawi such as a hotel booking or invitation letter. Additionally, you may be asked to provide a copy of your UAE residence visa or UAE national ID, along with proof of return flight or onward travel. Our team will provide you with a complete checklist when you contact us, and we can advise you on any additional documents required based on your specific situation.

The standard processing time for a Malawi e-visa is 5 business days from the date we submit your complete application. This is significantly faster than traditional sticker visas, which can take 2-3 weeks or longer. Once approved, you'll receive your e-visa via email, and you can print it immediately to travel. If you need your visa urgently, contact us via WhatsApp to discuss any expedited options that may be available.

The base visa fee starts from AED 700, which includes our service charges and document processing. What makes Green Apple exceptional is that we offer completely FREE pickup and delivery of your documents anywhere in Dubai—no hidden charges or additional fees. We collect your documents from your home or office, submit everything to the Malawi immigration authority on your behalf, and deliver your approved e-visa back to you, all included in the price.

Yes, that's our core service. You don't need to visit any visa centre, embassy, or government office—we handle everything for you from our Bur Dubai office. We collect your documents via our free pickup service, prepare your application, submit it to the Malawi immigration authority, and follow up until approval. This is especially convenient for busy expats and UAE nationals who don't have time to manage visa applications themselves.

The standard Malawi e-visa we process is single-entry, meaning you can enter Malawi once and it becomes void once you leave the country. If you need to enter and exit Malawi multiple times during your trip, you would need to apply for a multiple-entry visa, which has a different process and may require additional documentation or a higher fee. Contact us via WhatsApp with your travel plans, and we can advise whether a single or multiple-entry visa suits your needs and provide a separate quote if needed.

A Malawi e-visa is approved electronically before you travel and is printed as a document, giving you certainty and avoiding queues at the airport. Visa-on-arrival requires you to apply and pay at Lilongwe International Airport upon arrival, which can be unpredictable, time-consuming, and sometimes rejected, leaving you stranded. We strongly recommend the e-visa because it's faster (5 days), processed from Dubai, costs around the same, and eliminates the risk of denial at the border.

A Malawi e-visa is typically valid for 90 days from the date of issue, giving you a 3-month window to travel to Malawi. However, the validity period can vary depending on the specific approval issued by Malawi immigration, so you should check your approval letter carefully. Once you enter Malawi, the visa's validity depends on the permission granted by the immigration officer—usually a stay of 30 to 90 days from your entry date.

If your application is rejected, the Malawi immigration authority will provide a reason, which could relate to incomplete documents, passport validity issues, or security concerns. Green Apple will inform you immediately of the rejection and work with you to understand why it happened and explore options for reapplication with corrected documentation or additional supporting letters. In some cases, we may recommend waiting a period before reapplying or gathering stronger proof of your ties to the UAE. We don't charge for resubmission attempts if the rejection was due to documentation we can improve.

You do not need to be physically present in Dubai to apply—Green Apple can collect your documents and submit your application even if you're traveling or working outside Dubai at the time. A family member, colleague, or friend can provide your documents to us, or we can arrange courier pickup from anywhere in the UAE. However, you must provide signed authorization and ensure all your original documents (passport, photos, forms) reach us before the submission deadline.
