Our guide to the Mozambique visa from the United Kingdom
British travellers must obtain an e-Visa before travelling to Mozambique. The application is made online with the Mozambican authorities, using their official portal only, and the authorisation must be granted before boarding.
For holders of a passport from the United Kingdom, preparing a trip to Mozambique starts with this electronic authorisation application, to be finalised before departure. The price and processing time are not specified here; they appear on the official portal, which should be carefully distinguished from the many commercial websites offering the same service.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A British passport does not allow entry into Mozambique without prior authorisation: you need an e-Visa, applied for online and granted before departure. The authorisation is linked to the passport declared in the application, which must be the one presented when travelling. Detailed conditions are published on the official portal of the Mozambican authorities.
How much does an e-visa for Mozambique cost from the United Kingdom?
The official fee for an e-visa for Mozambique is not published in a source we can verify. Check the amount on the official portal before paying anything, third-party sites often add service fees on top.
What does a visa for Mozambique really cost?
The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.
- Government feeNot published in a source we can verify
Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.
- Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top
Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.
We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.
What documents are required for an e-visa for Mozambique?
The exact list for Mozambique is not published in a source we can verify. Every short-stay tourist application is nonetheless built on the same core:
- Valid passport
- Completed application form
- Compliant passport photo
- Proof of accommodation
- Return or onward ticket
- Proof of sufficient funds
Treat this as the common core, not the official list, confirm it with the consular authorities of Mozambique before you apply.
Documents and fees
The documents to provide usually include a copy of the passport’s identity page, a recent ID photo and information about the stay, such as your accommodation address and flight dates. Files must be sharp and complete. No official rate is given here: only the official portal shows the amount to pay.
How to apply for an e-visa for Mozambique from the United Kingdom
- 1Fill in the form on the destination’s official portal.
- 2Upload the required documents (passport, photo, supporting papers).
- 3Pay the fee online by card.
- 4Receive the authorisation by email, usually without a consular visit.
- 5Show the authorisation, printed or on your phone, at boarding.
How to apply
Before entering anything, make sure you are on the official portal: the Mozambican diplomatic representation competent for the United Kingdom can confirm its address. Then complete the form, upload the requested documents and pay any fees using the method offered. A summary or application reference then lets you track the file.
Where do you apply for a visa for Mozambique from the United Kingdom?
An e-visa for Mozambique is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.
- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.
- Lookalike sites copy the portal’s name and layout, then resell the same application with a margin. Check the domain before you type in a passport number.
- The authorisation arrives by email. Keep a printed copy, some airlines ask for it at boarding.
You live in the United Kingdom on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in the United Kingdom 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.

How long does an e-visa for Mozambique take?
No verified processing time is published for this route. Apply as early as your travel dates allow, and never book non-refundable travel before the e-visa is granted.
Timing and tips
As the processing time is not specified here, start the application early and avoid submitting it only a few days before your flight. Check that your passport is valid for the whole trip. Once you receive the e-Visa, take a printed and a digital copy, and show them at check-in if the airline asks.
Before you fly, and at the border
- Passport validity: most countries require the passport to stay valid beyond the return date, and the margin required differs from one destination to the next. Check it on the official source, and count from your return, not from your departure.
- A visa is not a right of entry. The border officer decides, and may ask for a return ticket, an address or proof of funds even when everything is in order.
- Conditional exemptions exist: several countries waive the visa for holders of a valid visa or residence permit from a third country. This depends on the destination and on the document, and we do not publish that rule when our sources do not carry it. The official page does.
- Minors travelling alone or with one parent are often asked for extra papers, typically a parental authorisation and the family record. Ask the post before booking.
- Overstaying is not a formality. It exposes you to a fine, to removal, and to an entry ban that can outlast the trip by years, including for the whole area when the destination belongs to one.
Common mistakes
The main risk remains the intermediary website: advertising at the top of search results, a layout close to an official site and service fees added to the official rate. Other frequent mistakes include swapping first name and surname, entering the wrong date of birth or uploading a badly cropped photo.
