How to get Mali visa in Dakar | Senegal
February 10 2020
This post deals with my experience of getting a Mali visa in Dakar, Senegal in February 2020 for a British passport holder.
This is the first visa that I've needed in advance since probably the Kenyan one in Addis.
I was anxious cos of all the possible questions that could have been asked and all the documents that could have been asked for but man this was one easy visa.

The embassy opens at 9am. I got there at 9.10am.
Requirements:
2 photos
1 copy of passport
25,000 XOF
Important info needed for visa application:
Entry point: in my case, Kidira
Hotel name in Mali: Sleeping Camel Hostel
The lady who deals with the application form speaks English and can assist in filling in the blanks if your French sucks, as mine does, mostly.
Very friendly atmosphere at the embassy.
I paid my fee and was told to come back at 2pm. Success!
The bus ride there and back and killing time until 2pm in 30 degree heat was harder. ;))
