What the Mali visa rules mean for Hong Kong travellers

Hong Kong citizens can enter Mali without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid Hong Kong passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 90-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.

  • Passport validity: The UK Foreign Office says your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay in Mali.
  • Vaccinations: Yellow fever: The UK Foreign Office says you must have a certificate proving yellow fever vaccination to enter Mali.
  • Travel insurance: No official source we could read states a travel insurance requirement for Mali.
  • Return or onward ticket: No official source we could read states an onward or return ticket requirement for Mali.
