Refund Policy and Terms

Understanding the refund policy is important before submitting your visa application and payment. The Mozambique eVisa system operates under a strict no-refund policy that applies to all applications regardless of the outcome.

No Refund Policy

All visa application fees are non-refundable once payment is completed, regardless of whether your application is approved or rejected. This policy reflects the cost of processing applications and is standard practice for visa systems worldwide.

Exceptional Circumstances

In very limited circumstances, refunds may be considered for technical errors or system failures that result in duplicate payments or processing errors. These situations are rare and are handled on a case-by-case basis by the technical support team.

What Happens if Your Application is Rejected

If your visa application is rejected, you will not receive a refund of the application fee. However, you may submit a new application addressing the reasons for rejection. This will require payment of a new application fee. To minimise the risk of rejection, ensure all requirements are met before submitting your application.

Currency and Exchange Rates

Visa fees are typically quoted in US Dollars (USD) but may be displayed in your local currency for convenience. When paying with a credit card or other payment method in a different currency, your bank or payment provider will apply their current exchange rate and may charge additional foreign transaction fees.

Exchange Rate Information

Exchange rates fluctuate daily and are determined by your payment provider. The final amount charged to your account may differ slightly from the amount displayed due to exchange rate variations and foreign transaction fees charged by your bank.

Cost-Saving Tips

While visa fees are fixed, there are several ways to minimise the overall cost of your visa application and avoid unnecessary expenses.

Apply Early

Submit your application well in advance to avoid express processing fees. Standard processing is significantly cheaper than express options.

Complete Application Carefully

Ensure all information is correct and all required documents are provided to avoid rejection and the need to reapply with new fees.

Choose Payment Method Wisely

Use a payment method with low or no foreign transaction fees to minimise additional charges from your bank or card provider.

Group Applications

If travelling with family or colleagues, submit all applications together to potentially benefit from any group processing efficiencies.
