Argentina to Mozambique visa requirements

Argentine ordinary passport holders need a visa for Mozambique. Since the February 2026 portal launch, the recommended route for tourism is the online eVisa at evisa.gov.mz (Argentina is NOT among the 29 ETA/visa-exempt countries). Visa on arrival still exists at major entry points as a fallback but is not guaranteed. Plan on a single-entry tourist visa, max 30 days, roughly USD 50 government fee. Argentina has no visa-waiver or ETA arrangement with Mozambique, so an Argentine ordinary passport holder cannot enter visa-free for tourism. On 11 February 2026 Mozambique's National Migration Service (SENAMI), in partnership with VFS Global, launched a new digital portal at evisa.gov.mz that handles both the ETA (for 29 visa-exempt nationalities) and the eVisa (for everyone else, including Argentina). The correct, recommended channel for an Argentine tourist is the eVisa: apply online before departure, upload passport bio page, photo, proof of funds, hotel booking and return ticket, and travel with the printed approval. A short-stay tourist visa is single entry, allows a maximum stay of 30 days, and carries a government fee in the region of USD 50. Visa on arrival remains legally available at international airports (Maputo, etc.) and some land borders for non-exempt nationals at the same ~USD 50 fee, but availability depends on the entry point and staffing, so it should be treated as a fallback rather than the primary plan. Mozambique is in Southern Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply. Travelers should also confirm yellow-fever certificate requirements if arriving from or transiting an endemic country.
