Entering Mali from Guinea
Hi folks,
I heard from various sources it is possible to arrive at Malian border north of Siguiri without a visa and get a laissez-passer which enables you to proceed to Bamako, where you can sort your malian visa issue properly. The other option I read of in LP is you can obtain laisser-passer at the gendarmerie in Kankan. Can anybody confirm that? My Guinean visa runs out in 3 weeks, being in Mali ville in Fouta Djallon I would like to avoid the drive to Conakry.

Two months ago I went the same way; From G.Bissau, by Labe to Conakry. Then further on by the forest region, up to Kankan, Siguiri and Bamako.
To avoid problems at the border I got the Malian visa in Conakry. (Cheap compare to what's common in West Africa.) I asked the staff at the Embassy about the possiblility to grab a visa at the border and they said yes, it's possible - as you describe it. But don't rely 100% on this information. I had my visa. And the distance back to Conakry is too long. Enjoy the time in Mali. Even though I prefer Guinea. Mali has become too touristified!

update, no problem at the border Kouremale, laissez-passer issued at the spot for 15.000 CFA, then inside one week you have to get a proper visa with the immigration police at Bamako - a cost free procedure
apparently the same applies for all land border crossings into Mali cheers
