Did you know?
Mozambique now welcomes visitors from 29 countries on an e-visa on arrival basis. Some are visitors who previously had to apply for visas before travel. This system will soon be replaced by a full e-visa system, in which visas for these travellers from the list of 29 countries will be issued online before travel.
Since the beginning of May 2023, the e-visa system now applies to passport holders of: USA; Canada; United Kingdom; Switzerland; Belgium; Netherlands; Denmark; Spain; Portugal; Italy; France; Germany; Finland; Norway; Sweden; Russia; Ukraine; Ireland; Israel; UAE; Saudi Arabia; Indonesia; Singapore; China; Republic of Korea; Japan; Côte d’Ivoire; Ghana and Senegal.
Once the system is fully up and running, passport holders covered under the e-visa system entering Mozambique should register in advance through the website: www.evisa.gov.mz at least 48 hours before arrival and make payment of MZN 650 (around R196 or US$11).
Laura Parry of Mozambique GSA told Travel News that pre-registering was temporarily unavailable, until such time as the online system was working smoothly. So, she said, payment could be made on arrival, but travellers should be aware that this could change at any time. Parry advised agents to check requirements before the client started travelling.
“For passport holders of countries that do not qualify for an e-visa, the cost is US$50 (R963) per visa and these visas are available on arrival. Payment can be made by Visa or MasterCard (not Diners or American Express), but we do recommend that all travellers have sufficient cash for visas in case of problems with the system – rands, US dollars or euros,” said Parry.
Passport holders of the following countries do not require a tourist visa for Mozambique: Angola, Botswana, Comoros, Congo, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
