Before traveling to Lilongwe, ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay in Malawi. Many nationalities, including U.S. citizens, are required to obtain a visa to enter Malawi.

Always verify the latest visa requirements specific to your nationality before your journey.
Lilongwe is served by Kamuzu International Airport (LLW), the main international gateway to Malawi. The airport hosts flights from several African countries and key international hubs. If traveling from outside Africa, you'll likely connect through airports like Johannesburg's O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) in South Africa, Addis Ababa's Bole International Airport (ADD) in Ethiopia, or Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Kenya. Flight schedules can vary, and it’s advisable to book well in advance, especially during peak travel seasons such as the dry months between May and October.
Upon arrival in Lilongwe, be mindful of Malawi’s customs and environmental regulations.
