Poland to Mozambique visa requirements

Polish ordinary passport holders are NOT visa-exempt for Mozambique. Poland is not among the 29 countries eligible for the cheaper ETA, so a Polish tourist must obtain a tourist eVisa online at the official portal (evisa.gov.mz) before travel. A visa on arrival (US$50, 30 days) also remains available at border posts, but the pre-arranged eVisa is the recommended, lower-risk route. As of mid-2026, Mozambique has no visa-waiver or ETA arrangement with Poland. Mozambique grants a low-cost Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA, ~US$48) only to 29 specified countries; Poland is not on that list, even though many other EU states are. Consequently a Polish tourist falls into the standard visa category and should apply for the tourist eVisa through the official VFS Global-operated portal launched 11 February 2026 at evisa.gov.mz. The tourist eVisa is issued for stays of 30, 60 or 90 days (single or multiple entry depending on itinerary), with the headline tourist eVisa now priced around US$190 (≈€160) after the February 2026 fee increase; fees are also published locally as 6,250 MT (30 days), 12,504 MT (60 days) and 18,756.25 MT (90 days). Processing typically takes around 5-9 business days, so apply well ahead. A visa on arrival for US$50 (30 days, single entry) is still obtainable at all border posts with a valid passport, return ticket and proof of accommodation, but airlines may require evidence of pre-authorization before boarding, so the eVisa is safer. Passport must be valid at least six months with two blank pages; a yellow-fever certificate is required only if arriving from or transiting an endemic country.
