A complete step-by-step guide to Mozambique's E-Visa platform for 2026 travelers — documents needed, fees, processing times, and how nendeni.com's widget simplifies everything.
Mozambique E-Visa: The Digital Gateway
Mozambique launched its E-Visa platform at evisa.migracao.gov.mz, allowing international travelers to apply for tourist visas online without visiting an embassy. This single innovation removes the #1 bureaucratic barrier to Mozambican tourism — but many travelers don't know it exists or find the process confusing.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Create an Account
Visit evisa.migracao.gov.mz and register with your email and passport number. The portal is available in Portuguese and English.
Step 2: Complete the Application
Fill in:
- Personal details (name, nationality, passport info)
- Travel dates and purpose (tourism)
- Accommodation details (hotel booking or host invitation)
- Intended ports of entry and exit
Step 3: Upload Documents
You'll need:
- Passport bio page (JPEG/PDF, clear scan)
- Passport photo (white background, 35×45mm, taken within 6 months)
- Flight itinerary (round-trip booking confirmation)
- Accommodation proof (hotel reservation or host invitation letter)
- Yellow fever certificate (only if arriving from endemic countries — check the WHO list)
Step 4: Pay the Visa Fee
- Single entry (30 days): ~USD 50
- Multiple entry (90 days): ~USD 100
- Payment by credit card or bank transfer
Step 5: Receive Your E-Visa
Processing takes 3-5 business days. You'll receive a PDF e-visa by email. Print it and present it on arrival at Maputo, Beira, or Nampula airports, or at land borders.
Nendeni.com E-Visa Widget
Nendeni.com embeds an E-Visa tracker directly into trip planning pages. The widget:
- Shows a document checklist with progress tracking
- Provides a trip countdown with deadline reminders (apply at least 7 days before travel)
- Walks through each application step in EN/PT
- Links directly to the official E-Visa portal
- Can track application status with your application ID
Tips for Smooth Processing
- Apply early: Allow 10+ days before travel (5 days processing + buffer for issues)
- Scan quality matters: Blurry documents cause rejections. Use a document scanner app
- Match your dates: Visa dates should match your flight itinerary exactly
- Save your PDF: Keep a digital and printed copy of your e-visa
- Visa-on-arrival alternative: Available at Maputo airport for some nationalities, but E-Visa is faster and more reliable
