Discover visa requirements for your trip
Finnish citizens need a visa to enter Mozambique. An e-Visa (electronic visa) is applied for online before departure through the official portal.
A Finnish national travelling to Mozambique — whether to Maputo, the Bazaruto islands or the Quirimbas archipelago — is not visa-exempt. Mozambique operates an e-Visa system that lets you file your application remotely from Finland. Some entry points may also issue a visa on arrival, but the e-Visa obtained in advance remains the safest route to avoid being denied boarding.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Finnish travellers must obtain a visa before a tourist stay in Mozambique. The recommended option is the e-Visa, requested online on the official portal evisa.gov.mz. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry.
How and where to apply
The e-Visa application is completed entirely online, before departure, on Mozambique's official portal. You open a file, upload your supporting documents and pay the fee by card. There is no need to visit a Mozambican embassy for a standard tourist trip. Keep the e-Visa confirmation to show at boarding and on arrival.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least 6 months, a recent ID photo, proof of accommodation, a return ticket and possibly evidence of sufficient funds. The exact fee and validity period are not confirmed here: check the official portal evisa.gov.mz for the rate in force at the time of your application.
Processing and tips
Processing time is not guaranteed: submit your application several working days before departure to absorb any delay. Check whether a yellow-fever vaccination certificate is required for your itinerary (especially if you transit through a risk country). Print your e-Visa and keep a digital copy.
Common mistakes
The main mistakes are: relying on visa on arrival when the airline may refuse boarding, a passport with less than 6 months' validity, name spellings that do not match the passport, and overlooking health requirements (yellow fever). Use only the official portal to avoid intermediary sites charging surcharges.
