Philippines to Mozambique visa requirements

Philippine ordinary passport holders need a visa for Mozambique. The recommended route is the tourist eVisa, applied for online before travel via the official portal (evisa.gov.mz). The Philippines is NOT on Mozambique's 29-country ETA-exempt list, so an eVisa (not a free ETA) is required. A visa on arrival also exists as a fallback, but the eVisa secured in advance is the safest channel. Mozambique is not a Schengen or visa-free destination for Philippine citizens. As of 2026, Mozambique operates a digital immigration platform (relaunched 11 February 2026 with VFS Global support) covering both an ETA for a list of 29 unilaterally visa-exempt countries and an eVisa for everyone else. The Philippines is not among the 29 ETA-exempt nationalities, so a Filipino traveler must obtain a tourist eVisa before departure. The eVisa is issued for 30, 60 or 90 days with single- or multiple-entry options depending on itinerary, and requires a passport valid at least 6 months with two blank pages, a passport photo, proof of accommodation, return flight booking, and proof of funds. A visa on arrival (max 30 days, around USD 50) is available to most nationalities including Filipinos as a backup, but airlines and immigration recommend securing the eVisa in advance to avoid boarding and entry issues. Standard eVisa processing is roughly 10-15 working days, with faster express tiers available for an extra fee.
