Complete step-by-step guide on the Mozambique visa process
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.
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.
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.
Enter your personal details, passport information, and travel plans on the Mozambique Preliminary eVisa Application Form.
Upload a clear copy of your passport and any required supporting documents based on your chosen visa type.
Pay the service fee to submit your application. Optional priority processing may be selected if required.
Once approved, your Preliminary eVisa (Pre-authorisation) is sent to your email address. This allows you to initiate your travel.
Present your preliminary eVisa at the airport or border and pay the applicable visa cost directly to immigration authorities.
After submitting your application:
The preliminary eVisa confirms that you are authorised to travel. Entry clearance is completed by immigration officers upon arrival after payment of the visa cost.
For document requirements, eligibility rules, and visa specifications, please refer to the relevant pages below.
Submit your application at least 7-10 days before your planned travel date to allow for processing time and any potential delays.
Ensure all documents are high-quality scans with clear, readable text and images. Poor quality documents may result in application rejection.
Verify all personal information matches your passport exactly. Even small discrepancies can cause processing delays.
Save your application reference number and confirmation email. You'll need these to track your application status.
