Discover visa requirements for your trip
Australian nationals need a visa to visit Mozambique. The simplest route is to apply for an e-Visa online through the official portal before you travel.
Whether you are heading for the Bazaruto Archipelago beaches or travelling on business to Maputo, Australians must obtain a visa before entering Mozambique. The country runs an electronic visa (e-Visa) system that, in most cases, replaces a visit to an embassy. Some entry points may also issue a visa on arrival, but applying online in advance remains the recommended path.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Australian passport holders are not visa-exempt for Mozambique and must obtain authorisation before or at entry. The recommended route is the e-Visa, applied for online ahead of travel. Your passport should remain valid for at least six months beyond your intended date of entry.
How and where to apply
The application is completed entirely online on the Mozambican government's official portal, evisa.gov.mz. Create an account, fill in the form, upload the required documents and pay the fee. Where an e-Visa is not used, some land borders and airports may issue a visa on arrival, but this option is less reliable, so it is wise not to depend on it.
Documents and fees
Prepare an Australian passport valid six months beyond entry, a recent passport photo, proof of accommodation, a return or onward ticket, and possibly evidence of sufficient funds. The exact fee is not confirmed here: check the amount shown on evisa.gov.mz at the time of your application.
Processing and tips
Submit your application several working days before departure, as processing time can vary. Check health requirements: a yellow fever vaccination certificate may be required if you arrive from, or have transited through, a country at risk. Print your approved e-Visa and keep a digital copy.
Common mistakes
The most common mistakes are a passport with insufficient validity, a non-compliant photo, a name that does not exactly match the passport, and relying on visa on arrival when the entry point does not offer it. Double-check every detail before paying.
