Hi! Thank you so much for sharing this information, it was hugely helpful. We just got our Mali visas in Rabat on October 19th for a trip in February. All of your information appears accurate except they did not give us the visas. We arrived at 10 am on a Wednesday and had to come back the following day to pick them up. There was also some confusion about whether we should take our passports with us, but ultimately we left them so they could be processed. We are American and the process may have been smoother if we spoke better French (lol) but luckily a couple of staff members spoke some English. Thank you so much for sharing all this info!
Hi Robin,
Fantastic! So happy to hear that our blog/information was hugely helpful to others. We really appreciate your updates to the process too. It can only help other travellers in the future. Happy Travels to you guys!
Hi, I am planning to get my visa in Rabat to Mali at the end of January. I am wondering if you happen to know if the visa service is available Mon-Fri or just specified days and a limited time?
Regards
Hi Emil,
The hours can vary at this embassy for visa service and processing. We recommend you contact them to arrange an appointment time or check opening hours/days before your arrival. Read more details & find a contact phone number for the embassy here https://www.123embassy.com/Embassy/19974/Mali-in-Rabat
This info is no longer accurate as of Nov 12, 2024. Went today following your advice to The Gamian consulate and then to Mali. I am a U.S passport holder and they informed me that I needed to be a resident of Morocco or Citizen to get visa. They instructed me to try in Senegal….
Hi Lisa,
So, will the consulate of Mali in Rabat only issue a visa for Mali for those who have proof of residency in Morocco? Is this correct? Could you let us know how you go in Senegal? Thank you
