The official list of required documents, if you are applying within the United States is here. I’ve also provided a quick and dirty list below.
- A valid passport
- Two (2) recent passport size photographs (Glue them to the application forms)
- Two (2) completed application forms
- A copy of your yellow fever certificate
- Self-addressed prepaid return envelope of USPS Express Mail so that the consulate can return your visa.
US Citizens:
- I recommend you go to your nearest Post Office and get a U.S. Postal Service Money Order. This will be payable to the “Embassy of Mali”.
- You can also pay by cashier’s check.
- It is always good practice to double check the latest fees here at the Embassy website.
Submit your required materials and visa fee from Steps 2 and 3 to the consulate you found in Step 1.
Congratulations! The Mali Consulate will give to you your brand new visa for Mali.
