Informational guidance on visas, residence, and consular services for residents, investors, and visitors in Mozambique.
Updated: August 2026
Immigration in Mozambique is managed by the National Migration Service (SENAMI), which regulates entry, stay, visas, residence permits, and identification documents for foreigners.
Tourist visas and electronic travel authorizations may be available online. Confirm current procedures with the Embassy or Consulate of Mozambique in your country of origin or contact Mozambique Discovery.
Private immigration consultants exist, but only the National Migration Service (SENAMI) and Mozambican consular representations can issue legally valid documents. Always verify credentials before paying intermediary fees.
Since 2026, most visitors apply for eTA or eVisa on the National Migration Service (SENAMI) platform. Indicative fees: roughly USD 48 (eTA) and roughly USD 190 (eVisa). Print the approved confirmation for boarding and border control.
Private consultants may help organize documents, but only SENAMI and Mozambican consular posts issue valid visas. Be wary of "guaranteed visa" promises.
There is no professional body for "immigration consultants" in Mozambique. Anyone charging to fill forms acts as an intermediary; documents are only valid if issued by the National Migration Service (SENAMI) or a Mozambican consular representation.
This guide is for information only. Visa requirements, fees, and timelines change periodically. Always confirm current information with the Embassy or Consulate of Mozambique in your country of origin or contact Mozambique Discovery.
Mozambique Discovery does not endorse private immigration consultants. Responsibility for document accuracy and compliance with migration laws rests solely with the applicant.
