Mali Tourist Visa
One of my most memorable travel experiences was when I went to Timbuktu, Mali. If you go to Mali and have some time, be sure to make the trek up to Timbuktu. I’ll never forget eating goat meet and rice in the middle of the desert and then heading to a museum to look at books written in the 13th century! The dry air keeps almost everything well-preserved.
In order to gain entry, you will need a tourist visa for Mali. Below I will describe simple steps on how to get this. Remember that U.S. Citizens are eligible for up to a (5) years multiple -entry visa.
- Visa required for U.S. citizens before you go to Mali: Yes. US Citizens are eligible for up to a (5) years multiple-entry visa.
