Embassy of Mali in Sweden
Mali does not currently have an embassy in Sweden. Mali is instead represented through its embassy in Berlin, Germany, which has consular jurisdiction over Sweden and several other Nordic countries. Visa applications and other consular matters for residents of Sweden are therefore handled by the Malian Embassy in Berlin.
Mali, on the other hand, has an honorary consulate in Stockholm that can assist with some information and guidance on limited consular matters. For visa matters, it is recommended that the application be submitted via the Malian embassy in Berlin. All Visas help you through the entire process of document checking, application and guidance before submission.
Embassy of Sweden in Mali
Sweden does not currently have an embassy in Mali. The Embassy of Sweden in Bamako was closed in 2024 as part of the Swedish government's changes to the diplomatic presence in the region.
Swedish citizens who are in Mali and need consular support can in some cases get help through other Swedish embassies in the region or through the EU countries' consular cooperation.
