If there is a Liberian embassy in the traveller's country, the same portal requires applying directly at the embassy rather than through the VoA portal.

The Mali MDC official missions portal returned a visa-required alert in the checked ordinary-passport visitor flow and redirected to the visa-application path. Exact visa validity and stay period depend on the issued visa and the responsible Malian mission.
