Applying for a Mozambique eVisa begins with a mandatory online preliminary eVisa application. This process registers your travel details, verifies eligibility, and grants official authorisation to travel to Mozambique before departure.
The final visa cost is paid to immigration authorities upon arrival. All application details, visa type selection, and processing preferences must be completed online in advance.
Before You Begin
Ensure you have a stable internet connection, all required documents in digital format, and a valid payment method before starting your application. This will help ensure a smooth and uninterrupted application process.
Understanding the Application Process
The Mozambique eVisa system operates through a two-stage process.
You first apply online to receive a Preliminary eVisa (Pre-authorisation). This document allows you to travel to Mozambique and complete entry clearance at the port of entry.
The online application is required for all eligible travellers and must be completed before travel.
