🇲🇿 Mozambique visa requirements
Who needs a visa, an e-visa or an eTA to enter Mozambique, what to prepare, and where to apply officially.
Heads up: Mozambique launched a new eVisa and eTA portal on 11 February 2026. Nigerian passport holders cannot apply through it: Mozambique's own portal says to apply at the nearest Mozambican embassy or consulate instead. Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire and Senegal passports need an eTA for stays up to 30 days. Some African neighbours (including Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and South Africa) need no visa for 30 or 90 days.
| Passport | Entry rule |

| Ghanaian | eTA required |
| Kenyan | No visa needed |
| South African | No visa needed |
| Egyptian | Visa on arrival |
| British | eTA required |

Do I need a visa for Mozambique?
It depends on your passport. The table above covers the passports most Faylo travellers hold; use the checker for any other. Whatever the result, confirm it on Mozambique eVisa & eTA portal (National Immigration Service) before you pay or book.
Where do I apply for a Mozambique visa?
Use the official site: Mozambique eVisa & eTA portal (National Immigration Service) (https://evisa.gov.mz). Government sites don't charge for the form itself — only the visa fee. Be careful with look-alike sites and agents who bundle the fee with their own.
How long before I travel should I apply?
Allow more time than you think you need: online approvals can take days, and embassy visas can take weeks. Start at least a few weeks before you fly, and don't buy non-refundable flights until you have the approval.
