Consulate General of Switzerland in Lilongwe

The honorary consulates support the Swiss representations in safeguarding Switzerland’s interests and in emergencies involving Swiss citizens abroad. In an emergency the representation responsible (embassy or consulate-general) must be contacted immediately.

Please note that honorary representations do not have consular authority and therefore can not issue visas and Swiss passports nor act as a notary or handle civil status events.

Responsibilities

The Embassy of Switzerland in Harare/Zimbabwe is the competent representation for diplomatic relations with Malawi. All consular services and visa issues are provided by the Regional Consular Centre Southern Africa in Pretoria.
