My passport was finally stamped with a work visa yesterday! I didn’t even have to pay 60,000 Kwacha. The MCV management wrote a letter on my behalf to the secretary of the treasury in Malawi, who in turn sent a letter to the immigration office asking them to give me a 1 year work visa. Felix (MCV’s Assistant Director) went to Blantyre with the letter and my passport and they stamped it without anymore hassle.
On a completely unrelated note: Malawi has two wireless providers, Celtel and Telekom. Last Friday there was a fire in Blantyre which knocked out service to all Celtel phones. (Basically the equivalent of all Verizon phones suddenly not working in the USA). The officials from Celtel said it would be back up in less than a week. Nick’s predicting 3 weeks, Sibale guesses a month. Lucky for me I have Telekom.
