Mozambique has implemented a significant travel update, requiring all visa-exempt travellers to secure an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) at least 48 hours before their scheduled departure. Previously optional, this electronic travel formality is now a mandatory prerequisite for legal entry into Mozambique. Travellers can complete the ETA registration through the official platform at www.evisa.gov.mz by providing personal information, passport details, and planned stay specifics.
The new ETA requirement applies to citizens of the following 29 countries:
- Canada
- Switzerland
- United Arab Emirates
- Israel
- United States
- Russia
- Japan
- Saudi Arabia
- Belgium
- Denmark
- Spain
- Norway
- Sweden
- Netherlands
- United Kingdom
- South Korea
- Ivory Coast
- Finland
- Indonesia
- Ireland
- Singapore
- Ghana
- Senegal
- Germany
- France
- Italy
- China
- Portugal
- Ukraine
While the ETA is not a visa application, it is a mandatory legal entry notification that must be obtained and approved before travel. Once the application is completed, travellers can download the approved ETA within minutes. The document is valid for three months from the approval date.
Upon arrival, visa-exempt travellers must pay a processing fee of 650 Mozambican Meticais (MZN), either in local currency or in a foreign currency recognized by Mozambican authorities. Failure to register and pay the fee in advance may result in denied boarding or entry.
Travellers must present the following documents upon arrival in Mozambique:
- Approved ETA (digital or printed copy)
- Passport valid for at least six months
- Supporting documentation for the purpose of the visit:
- Tourism: Proof of accommodation, return ticket, evidence of sufficient funds
- Business: Invitation letter, return ticket, proof of financial means
