Treat this as the common core, not the official list, confirm it with the consular authorities of Mozambique before you apply.

You live in the United States on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in the United States 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.

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.
Processing and tips
File several days before departure to absorb processing times, which vary by season. Keep both a digital and a paper copy of the e-Visa. Also check whether a yellow-fever certificate is required if you arrive from a risk country.

Common mistakes
Do not rely on visa on arrival: not every border post offers it. Avoid intermediary sites that mimic the official portal and add surcharges. Finally, do not let the passport drop below 6 months of validity, a common cause of refusal.
