Visa policy of Mozambique

Last updated

Mozambique allows most countries that are not visa exempt to obtain a visa on arrival. However, nationals of certain countries must obtain a visa online or from one of the Mozambican diplomatic missions around the world before being allowed into the country. [1]

Mozambique is part of the Southern African Development Community, meaning that members of most other SADC countries do not require a tourist visa if visiting Mozambique for tourism purposes.

Visa on arrival

Citizens of all other countries that are not visa exempt can obtain a visa on arrival in Mozambique, valid for a maximum stay of 30 days at all border posts, if they present a passport valid for 6 months on arrival [15] and a return or onward ticket, as well as proof of sufficient funds to support their stay and proof of the purpose of their visit. [3] A visa obtained on arrival costs 50 USD.

Despite visas stating they are valid for only 1 entry, visitors who have travelled to Eswatini and South Africa have found it was valid for 2 entries if the visa was still within its 30 day validity. [16]

In December 2022, the Mozambique e-Visa system began operations. Nationals of all countries that are not visa-exempt can also apply for an e-Visa prior to entering Mozambique. [15] [18]

The official e-Visa website offers all types of visas, such as tourist, sports and business visas. The cost of the Tourist e-Visa is 6,250 MT for 30 days, 12,504 MT for 60 days, and 18,756.25 MT for 90 days. [18]
