Türkiye to Mozambique visa requirements

Turkish ordinary passport holders are ETA-eligible for Mozambique: apply online for an Electronic Travel Authorisation before travel for a tourist stay of up to 30 days. A visa on arrival at major airports also exists as a fallback. A Turkey ordinary passport holder traveling to Mozambique for tourism does NOT need a traditional embassy visa for a short stay. According to IATA Timatic data (reflected in the Wikipedia visa policy of Mozambique), Turkish nationals fall into Mozambique's Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) category, allowing a tourist stay of up to 30 days (extendable once for a further 30 days inside the country). The ETA is applied for online through the official portal at evisa.gov.mz, which was relaunched on 11 February 2026 in partnership with VFS Global; all online requests are now processed as an ETA or eVisa, with applicants selecting Tourism or Business. The fee quoted for the ETA is around 48 USD (the underlying tax fee for visa-exempt nationals is 650 MZN / ~10 USD, with the higher online figure reflecting service/processing). Airlines now check for an approved ETA before boarding, so travelers should obtain it before departure (at least 48 hours ahead). A visa on arrival (around 50 USD) remains available at major airports (Maputo, Vilanculos, Pemba, Beira) and key land borders as a fallback, requiring a passport, return ticket, accommodation proof and funds. Note: some 2026 country lists of the 29 visa-exempt nations do not explicitly name Turkey, so requirements can shift; travelers should confirm their exact category on evisa.gov.mz before booking. Mozambique is in southern Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply. Passport must be valid 6+ months with blank pages.
