Italian Honorary Consulate in Malawi

Italy has an honorary consulate in Blantyre; an honorary consul offers first help and passes documents on, but visas and passports are issued elsewhere.

Italy requires Malawian citizens to hold a visa issued in advance. Italy has no embassy or career consulate in Malawi, and its honorary consulates normally do not issue visas; applications go to a mission of Italy accredited to Malawi from another country, or to another Schengen state that represents it for visas.

Malawi has no mission in Italy on record; Malawian citizens there would be served by an embassy accredited from another country.
