Discover visa requirements for your trip
Canadian nationals need a visa for Mozambique, applied for online through the official e-Visa portal before departure. Some entry points may also issue a visa on arrival, but a pre-approved e-Visa is recommended.
Mozambique issues Canadian passport holders an electronic visa (e-Visa) to be obtained on the official portal before travel. In most cases this online process replaces a visit to an embassy or consulate. The tourist visa is generally single entry with a limited length of stay.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A Canadian citizen must hold a visa to enter Mozambique for tourism. It is obtained online as an e-Visa at evisa.gov.mz before departure. Depending on the entry point a visa on arrival may exist, but it is safer to arrive with an approved e-Visa.
How and where to apply
The Canadian traveller creates an account on the official evisa.gov.mz portal, completes the form, uploads the supporting documents and pays the fee online. Approval is emailed and must be presented to immigration on arrival. No embassy visit is normally required.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Canadian passport valid for at least six months with blank pages, a passport photo, proof of accommodation, a return ticket and evidence of sufficient funds. Fees depend on the visa category and are not confirmed here: check the exact amount and payment methods on evisa.gov.mz.
Processing and tips
e-Visa processing usually takes a few business days, but the official timeframe shown on the portal is authoritative. Apply at least one to two weeks before departure and print the approval. Also check health requirements, including possible proof of yellow fever vaccination depending on your route.
Common mistakes
Do not assume a visa on arrival will be available at your specific entry point: confirm it in advance. Do not let your passport drift close to expiry, as the six-month rule is enforced. Finally, do not rely on fees heard elsewhere: only the amounts on the official portal are reliable.
