Do I need an arrival card for Malawi?

When should I fill in the Traveller Health Check?

Complete in advance or on arrival via QR code

How much does the Traveller Health Check cost?

It's free on the official government site, poe.health.gov.mw. Websites that charge a fee for it are not the official one.

Is the Traveller Health Check the same as an arrival card or entry form?

Yes. Countries use different names for the same thing: arrival card, arrival form, entry form, immigration card, landing card, ED (embarkation and disembarkation) card, health declaration. For Malawi, the official name is the Traveller Health Check.

Do I still need a visa for Malawi?

An arrival form is not a visa. Whether you need a visa or an electronic travel authorization depends on your nationality, so check Malawi's official immigration website or your own government's travel advice.
