L’essenziale
- FCDO advises against all travel; those already in Mali should consider safe commercial departure, not dangerous overland routes.
- Visa applications and payments are now online through the Malian Ministry of Foreign Affairs; the approved entry permit is electronic. Carry a yellow fever certificate.
- Cards are rarely accepted outside a few major hotels. ATM access is limited outside Bamako; plan reliable access to cash.
