Travel to Mozambique for Canada citizenship

Mozambique has introduced a visa-free regime for citizens of a number of countries, including Ukraine, Belgium, Ghana, and others. However, as of April 24, 2025, a new rule will come into effect: citizens of these countries must obtain an electronic travel authorization (ETA) before entering Mozambique.

What is an ETA?

ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is a pre-entry permit that must be obtained online at least 48 hours before travel. An ETA is not a visa, but it is required to enter the country.

How to obtain an ETA?

1. Go to the official website
2. Fill out the form with your personal details and travel information
3. Wait for confirmation (usually received within a few minutes)
4. Print or save your ETA for presentation upon arrival

Payment upon arrival

Upon arrival in Mozambique, you must pay an administrative fee of 650 meticais (approximately 10 USD). Payment can be made in local currency or US dollars.

Required documents upon entry

• Valid passport (minimum 6 months before expiry)
• Confirmation of accommodation booking
• Return ticket or proof of departure from the country
• Proof of financial means (cash or bank card)
• Printed or electronic copy of ETA

Length of stay

The visa-free regime with ETA allows you to stay in Mozambique for up to 30 days, with the possibility of a single extension for another 30 days.

What are the vaccination requirements?

• Yellow fever: if a traveler arrives from a country where this disease is prevalent, they must have a vaccination certificate.
• Vaccinations are also recommended for:

- hepatitis A and B

- typhoid

- tetanus

- Malaria is not vaccine-preventable, but prophylaxis with antimalarial drugs is recommended (especially for visits to rural areas).
