Our guide to the Mozambique visa from Canada
For a stay in Mozambique, Canadians must obtain an e-Visa before the trip. This electronic authorisation is requested online, on the official portal of the Mozambican authorities, and must be granted before boarding.
Travellers from Canada therefore prepare their entry into Mozambique from home, online, starting by gathering the requested scanned documents. No official fee or processing time is specified here: only the official portal gives them, and it should be accessed directly rather than through a commercial website.

Where do you apply for a visa for Mozambique from Canada?

- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.

You live in Canada on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Canada but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Timing and tips

Common mistakes
Many travellers come across well-ranked intermediary websites that look like the official portal and charge a large surcharge. Check the website address with the embassy before entering your data or paying.
