Discover visa requirements for your trip
Swiss travellers need a visa for Mozambique; it is obtained online through the official e-Visa portal before departure, and some entry points may also issue a visa on arrival.
Mozambique requires Swiss nationals to hold an electronic visa (e-Visa), applied for on evisa.gov.mz before the trip. The whole process is completed online and the authorisation is shown to immigration on arrival. The exact fee and validity appear on the official portal at the time of application.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Swiss citizens must hold a visa to enter Mozambique, including for a short tourist stay. The recommended route is the e-Visa obtained before departure; depending on the border post a visa on arrival may also be offered, but it is safer not to rely on it.
How and where to apply
Apply online on the official portal evisa.gov.mz from Switzerland, before you leave. Create an account, enter your itinerary and accommodation, then upload the requested documents. The approved authorisation is delivered electronically and must be presented on arrival.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Swiss passport valid for at least six months, a passport photo, proof of accommodation and a return ticket. The visa fee and its validity are set by the Mozambican authorities and shown during the application; the reference data lists no confirmed price, so refer to the official portal.
Processing and tips
Submit your application several working days before departure, as processing times are not guaranteed. Check whether a yellow-fever vaccination certificate is required depending on your country of departure. Keep both a printed and a digital copy of your e-Visa.
Common mistakes
Common errors are relying on a visa on arrival at a post that does not issue one, travelling on a passport valid for less than six months, or using an intermediary website instead of the official portal. Also check that your travel dates are consistent before paying.
