From August 1, 2026, the US consulate in Antananarivo will cease processing visa applications, redirecting applicants to the regional hub in Johannesburg, South Africa. The US Department of State announced the change on July 15, citing a reorganization of consular services in Africa to enhance national security and efficiency. Applicants must travel to Johannesburg to submit documents and pay fees. The measure aligns with the ‘America First’ policy under President Donald Trump. The decision is expected to significantly increase costs and travel burdens for Malagasy citizens seeking US visas.
