Discover visa requirements for your trip
Irish citizens need a visa for Mozambique; an e-Visa is applied for online before departure, with visa on arrival possibly available at some entry points.
Mozambique issues Irish travellers an electronic tourist visa through its official portal. Applicants from Ireland apply online before heading to Maputo or the Bazaruto Archipelago. The passport must be valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
An Irish national must obtain a visa to enter Mozambique. The main route is the e-Visa, requested online before travel; some entry points may also issue a visa on arrival. Confirm the current conditions on the official portal before leaving.
How and where to apply
Applications are made on the evisa.gov.mz portal. The Irish traveller creates an account, uploads a passport, a photo and proof of accommodation, then submits the file. The e-Visa avoids a consulate visit.
Documents and fees
Have a passport valid for six months with blank pages, a recent photo, a hotel booking and a return ticket ready. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is often required, especially if arriving from a risk area. The fee is not fixed here — check the official portal.
Processing and tips
The Mozambican e-Visa usually takes a few working days to be issued; apply at least one to two weeks before departure. Print the authorisation. Check that your chosen entry point actually accepts the e-Visa.
Common mistakes
Don't rely solely on visa on arrival — its availability varies by entry point. Use the official portal rather than intermediaries. Neglecting the yellow fever vaccination or insufficient passport validity can lead to refused entry.
