Mozambique eVisa for Cook Islands Citizens

Flags Of Mozambique And Cook Islands

Cook Islands passport holders are invited to explore the vibrant culture and natural beauty of Mozambique. To facilitate this journey, the Mozambican government has implemented a streamlined digital portal. This platform allows citizens from the Cook Islands to obtain their travel authorisation before departure, ensuring that all security and immigration criteria are met well in advance of their arrival at the border.

Visa Requirement Confirmation

Citizens of the Cook Islands are currently required to secure a valid visa for all types of entry into Mozambique. There is no visa-exemption agreement currently active for this nationality. The electronic visa (eVisa) is the standard method for obtaining short-term entry for tourism, family visits, or business engagements. Without this approved document, entry will not be permitted at any port.

Visa Categories & Classes

The electronic system categorises stays based on the traveller's primary intent. Choosing the correct classification is essential for a successful application. For a high-level view of available options, please review the Types of visas available for Mozambique.
