South African High Commission

The South African High Commission in Lilongwe is South Africa's diplomatic mission to Malawi, at Plot 19, Convention Drive in Area 40. It falls under South Africa's Department of International Relations and Cooperation, and appears both in DIRCO's register of South African representation abroad and in the South African government's contact directory of missions. Lilongwe hosts 17 resident embassies and high commissions; many other countries accredited to Malawi are represented from Pretoria, Dar es Salaam or Maputo. South African missions abroad generally handle diplomatic and official visas, assistance to South African citizens including support for those detained, help for victims of crime and arrangements for repatriating remains, authentication and legalisation of documents, notarial and Commissioner of Oaths functions, and agency services covering extradition, estates, legal aid enquiries and the service of legal documents. Civic services such as passport applications are handled differently from market to market, and no public source confirms the arrangement in Malawi. The mission publishes no website and no opening hours. At South African missions, consular counter hours are commonly shorter than general office hours.
