Visas

Mozambican visas can be obtained from Mozambican embassies and consulates. You can request applications from an embassy directly, or you can use a visa service. A visa service might expedite the process, especially if you are traveling with a group. To apply for a visa, you will need a passport with at least 6 months remaining after your intended return home, as well as your flight itinerary and 2 passport-size pictures. You should apply for a single-entry tourist visa, unless you know that you will require a multiple-entry visa. Tourist visas for the US do require a letter of invitation. Visa requirements and printable application forms are available on the website of the Washington Embassy at www.embamoc-usa.org. That site also includes a listing of Mozambican embassies and consulates around the world.

When you receive your visa, please check carefully the details of what has actually been issued. The standard visa is valid for a maximum 30-day stay in the country and is valid for 2-3 months. That would cover the circumstances of most visitors, but for those staying longer than 30 days, you would have to drive out of the country and re-enter before that 30-day period expires - or be subject to a fine of $100/day after that for being in the country illegally. However, some visas are inexplicably issued for only a 15-day validity - or even as short as 8 days. The consequences of overlooking this could be very serious!
