Looking to establish a consultancy business in Malawi? The Business Residence Permit (Consultancy) provides an excellent opportunity for self-employed consultants or service providers to reside and operate legally in Malawi. With a five-year validity and an option to renew, this permit supports long-term business success.
This permit is specifically designed for service-related businesses, covering sectors like management consulting, financial services, legal consulting, IT services, and more. It is crucial to have your investment funds originate from a legal source outside Malawi, with a minimum requirement of $50,000.
To apply for this permit, you will need to prepare the following:
The Malawi e-Permit System conducts checks against law enforcement databases. Any false information provided could result in administrative or criminal penalties. Even if your permit is approved, it does not guarantee final approval until verified by an Immigration Officer upon your arrival or during an inspection at the Immigration Office. Ensure that all information is accurate, as a permit approval can be revoked if new information arises that affects eligibility.
Renew your permit before it expires to avoid legal issues. Ensure your documents and investment details are up to date, and your business remains compliant with Malawi’s regulations.
