yellow fever certificate in Mali
 

when i applied for my Mali visa there was no mention of necessity of yellow fever certificate. however, some web sites, including official ones, say it is a necessary requirement to have one in order to enter Mali. where is it actually checked (if at all)? what happens if i don't have one (and i don't)? do you reckon there's a chance to get the injection in Morocco? i am travelling overland Morocco-Mauritania-Mali.

arrived in Mali few days ago from Senegal no one looked for cert no mention of it at all!!!!

When I arrived at Bamako airport a couple of weeks ago I was asked for the certificate, but by the time I had stepped aside to look for it, the official's attention had gone elsewhere and I wandered off - he didn't follow me even though I was stood nearby at the luggage carousel for ages.

While you aren't coming in at the airport and might meet a more industrious official, at least this shows that it isn't something which all officials have been instructed to make their top priority.

Alright, we also just entered Mali via kidira(senegal)and diboli(mali) two days ago and nobody asked for it;Maybe it,s only if you,re coming from an infected area which you won,t be so I wouldn;t worry;

Hi,

picked up two Mali visas 20 mins ago (Mali embassy in Dakar) and no one asked for the yellow fever certificate.

Visas cost us 22 thousand each- 7,500 for visas and other admin charges make up the rest.
