India to Mozambique visa requirements

Indian ordinary passport holders need a tourist eVisa for Mozambique, applied for in advance online at the official portal evisa.gov.mz before travel. As of mid-2026, Indian ordinary passport holders are NOT visa-free for Mozambique and must obtain a visa before arrival. India is not among the roughly 29 countries on Mozambique's visa-waiver list. Since the unified eVisa/eTA platform launched on 11 February 2026 (run by Mozambique's National Migration Service in partnership with VFS Global, at evisa.gov.mz), India is one of the 183 eligible nationalities able to apply online for a tourist eVisa. Travelers create an account, complete the application, upload supporting documents (passport, photo, return ticket, accommodation, proof of funds), pay by international card, and receive an approved eVisa PDF by email, typically within about 5 to 9 business days. The tourist eVisa is single-entry and permits a stay of up to 90 days; passports must be valid at least 6 months with 2 blank pages. While a visa on arrival exists at major airports (Maputo, Beira, Vilanculos, Pemba), Mozambican authorities strongly discourage it and airlines may deny boarding without a pre-issued eVisa or eTA, so applying online in advance is the safe, recommended route. Fees vary by duration; reported figures are roughly 6,250 MT (30 days), 12,504 MT (60 days), and 18,756 MT (90 days), with the all-in tourist eVisa cost reaching up to about USD 190. Sources show some pre-2026 references still listing India as embassy-only; the current official platform confirms eVisa eligibility, so eVisa is the best fit, with embassy/VoA as fallbacks.
