• Is a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate required for Indian citizens?

  A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is generally required if you are arriving from or have transited through a country with a risk of Yellow Fever transmission. While India is not typically considered an endemic country for Yellow Fever, it is always recommended to check the latest health requirements with the Mozambican embassy or health authorities before travel.

• Can I work in Mozambique with a tourist e-Visa?

  No, a tourist e-Visa does not permit employment or any form of paid work in Mozambique. For work purposes, a specific work visa or permit is required.

• What should I do if my e-Visa application is rejected?

  If your e-Visa application is rejected, you should review the reasons provided by the authorities. You may be able to reapply after addressing the issues, or you might need to apply for a traditional visa through a Mozambican embassy or consulate.

• Do I need a separate visa if I am only transiting through Mozambique?

  Yes, if you plan to leave the transit area of the airport or if your layover exceeds a certain duration, a Transit e-Visa is required. This visa allows a stay of up to 7 days.

• My passport expires in 5 months - can I still apply for Mozambique?

  Indian citizens traveling to Mozambique must have a passport valid for at least six months beyond their intended stay. If your passport has less than six months of validity remaining, you should renew it before applying for an e-Visa. An e-Visa cannot be issued for a passport with insufficient validity.

• I'm traveling to Mozambique next week. Is there enough time to get an e-Visa?

  It is strongly recommended to apply for your Mozambique e-Visa well in advance of your travel date, ideally several weeks prior.

Refer to the official e-Visa application portal for a comprehensive list of required documents for self-employed applicants.

• I was refused a visa for another country before. Will this affect my Mozambique e-Visa application?

The Mozambican authorities will assess your application based on their own criteria. Ensure all details provided are truthful and complete.

• Do I need a separate visa for Bazaruto Archipelago, or does this cover all of Mozambique?

  You do not need a separate visa for any individual city. Entry rules are set nationally, not city by city, so a Mozambique visa is valid for the whole country — including Bazaruto Archipelago, Gorongosa National Park, Maputo and Quirimbas National Park. Apply once for Mozambique and you can travel anywhere inside it, up to the permitted length of stay.
