Mozambique eTA Guide
Tourist and Business Electronic Travel Authorisation for 30-Day Stays
Mozambique now issues an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) for certain nationalities travelling for short stays. If you are eligible, and you plan to stay in Mozambique for up to 30 days, you will apply for a Tourist eTA or a Business eTA, not an eVisa.
Who Is Eligible for the Mozambique eTA?
The eTA applies to certain visa-exempt nationalities. While a visa is not required for short stays, an approved eTA must be obtained before travel to Mozambique. If you intend to stay longer than 30 days, you must apply for the appropriate Mozambique eVisa instead. To confirm whether your nationality is eligible for the eTA, review the Mozambique Visa Eligible Countries or begin your application to see the available options for you.

How the eTA Differs from the eVisa
The distinction is based on stay duration and nationality, not on application complexity.
- The eTA applies only to 30-day Tourist and Business travel for eligible nationalities.
- The eVisa applies to longer stays or to nationalities not covered under the eTA policy.
The application process, document submission, and online procedure remain structured and secure for both.
