Planning a trip to Mozambique? Before you travel, make sure you understand the entry requirements for your nationality.

Visa requirements depend on the passport you hold, the purpose of your visit and the length of your stay. Mozambique has different entry arrangements for different nationalities, including visa exemptions, an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) and an e-Visa.

Travelling to Mozambique for up to 30 days

Citizens of several countries can visit Mozambique for tourism for up to 30 days without applying for a traditional visa. However, some nationalities must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) online before travelling.

This currently includes travellers holding ordinary passports from countries such as Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States, France, the Netherlands and several other European countries. Please go to evisa.gov.mz and scroll to “Countries Eligibility for eTA or eVisa” to see the list.

Other nationalities, including South African, Botswanan and Eswatini citizens, are covered by Mozambique’s visa-waiver arrangements.

Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA)

Travellers required to obtain an eTA must complete an online registration before departure.

The registration fee is USD 48 per person, payable by credit card through the official immigration portal. The registration should be completed well in advance of your trip.

Please note that an eTA is a travel authorisation, not a traditional visa. It is required for certain visa-exempt nationalities travelling to Mozambique for short stays.

Travelling for longer than 30 days or requiring a visa

If your nationality is not covered by the visa-exemption or eTA arrangements, or if you plan to stay longer than the permitted period, you may need to apply for a tourist e-Visa.

The indicative fees for a tourist e-Visa are:

30 days: approximately USD 95
60 days: approximately USD 190
90 days: approximately USD 290

The visa fee depends on the duration of stay and the application. The final amount will be displayed during the online application process.

General entry requirements

Before travelling to Mozambique, make sure you have:

A passport valid for at least six months.
The required eTA approval or visa, if applicable.
Proof of accommodation and a return or onward ticket, if requested by immigration authorities.
Any additional documents required for your specific visa category.

If you are travelling with children, additional documentation may be required, particularly when a child is travelling with only one parent or without their parents.

Where to apply or check your requirements

Mozambique’s official immigration portal provides the latest information on visa exemptions, eTA applications and e-Visas.
