The national eVisa and eTA platform relaunched in February 2026; what visitors and businesses need to know before travelling.
Updated: August 2026
On 11 February 2026, the National Migration Service (SENAMI) relaunched the official electronic travel authorization and eVisa platform. The system replaces earlier fragmented workflows and centralizes applications for most international visitors.
VFS Global provides operational support for application processing and international payment handling, aligning Mozambique with practices used in other regional destinations.
The eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is for short tourist or business stays by travellers from eligible countries. The eVisa covers additional categories, including longer stays or purposes that require supplementary documentation.
Before paying, confirm the correct category for your trip with the Embassy or Consulate of Mozambique in your country of origin. Applying under the wrong category can delay entry at the border.
The platform covers citizens of approximately 183 countries and territories. Published fees include roughly USD 48 for eTA and roughly USD 190 for eVisa, subject to confirmation at application time and any processing charges.
Southern African Development Community (SADC) nationalities and other bilateral arrangements may follow different rules. Always check the updated list with the Embassy or Consulate of Mozambique in your country of origin before planning travel.
Apply at least two to three weeks ahead during peak season. Keep the electronic confirmation and carry a printed copy for presentation at the border, as advised by the National Migration Service (SENAMI).
Ensure your passport has at least six months validity and blank pages for stamps. Vaccination requirements; including yellow fever for travellers from endemic areas; remain applicable.
Companies with international teams should update internal travel policies: centralize requests through the official platform, assign a compliance lead, and archive approvals for audit purposes.
