Do I need a visa for United Arab Emirates from Mozambique?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Mozambican nationals need a visa to enter the United Arab Emirates. The standard route is a tourist e-Visa applied for online before travel.
From Mozambique, the UAE is not accessible visa-free: an e-Visa must be obtained before arrival. The procedure is electronic and goes through the Emirati authorities or a sponsor such as an airline or hotel. This guide sets out the steps for a tourist stay in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or the other emirates.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Mozambique is not among the countries exempt from a visa for the UAE, so an e-Visa is mandatory before arrival. A visa on arrival may exceptionally be issued at some entry points, but it is best not to rely on it and to prepare the electronic visa in advance. Your Mozambican passport must be valid for at least 6 months on the date of entry.
How and where to apply
The application is 100% online, with no trip to a consulate. Use the official ICP portal (icp.gov.ae) or its app, or let the airline (Emirates, Etihad) or your hotel sponsor the file. Create an account, complete the form, upload the supporting documents and pay the fee online.
Documents and fees
Gather a Mozambican passport valid for 6 months, a compliant passport photo, a copy of the passport bio page, a return ticket and proof of accommodation. The fee amount is not confirmed in our data: check the official price shown on icp.gov.ae at the time of application. Payment is made by card directly on the platform.
Processing and tips
As processing time is not guaranteed, allow a margin of at least two weeks before departure. Check that the name and passport number you enter are strictly identical to the document. Keep the e-Visa in printed and digital form: it may be requested at boarding and at the border post on arrival.
Common mistakes to avoid
The most widespread mistake is counting on visa-free entry or an automatic visa on arrival, which does not apply to Mozambicans. Also avoid a passport whose validity falls below 6 months, a non-compliant photo, or inconsistent information between documents. Finally, check the health requirements (yellow fever) that apply to your itinerary before leaving.
