Visa policy of Mozambique

Most visitors to Mozambique can obtain a visa for Mozambique, either on arrival or from one of the Mozambican diplomatic missions around the world in advance, unless they are a national of one of the visa-exempt countries.

Mozambique is part of the Southern African Development Community, meaning that members of most other SADC countries do not require a tourist visa if visiting Mozambique for tourism purposes.
