Planning a trip from the historic landscapes of the Nile to the beautiful turquoise waters of southern Africa is an exciting experience. The Mozambique eVisa from Egypt system has made it easy for citizens of Egypt to travel via an online application system prior to departure.

 This guide supplies all the necessary information for Egyptians applying for the eVisa for Mozambique, including all the most recent processing levels for 2026 as well as visa classifications for 2026.

Do travelers from Egypt require a visa to enter Mozambique?

Egyptian travelers require an electronic visa  to enter Mozambique. They can apply for a Mozambique eVisa online before departure, which allows short stays for tourism or business. The eVisa requires a valid passport, a recent photograph, travel itinerary, accommodation details, and any additional documents depending on the visa type. A visa on arrival is also available, but pre-approval via eVisa is recommended for faster entry.

What is the process for applying for a Mozambique Visa from Egypt?

You will not need to travel to the Mozambican Embassy in Dokki, Cairo for your application process: it will be done entirely through a digital application.

1. Completing the Visa Application Form - You'll enter all the details requested on the application form including your name, date of birth and passport information as they appear on your travel documents.



2. Selecting a Processing Tier - You will have three different speed tiers to choose from; Standard, Rush and Super Rush.



3. Upload Your Documents - You'll upload high-quality digital copies of all required paperwork to your application form.



4. Application Submission - After you've submitted your completed application form, you'll receive an Application Tracking Code to monitor the status of your application.



5. Download Authorization Letter - Upon approval, you'll receive a Preliminary Visa Authorization by email. You will have to print this and carry it with you when flying to Mozambique.

Which documents are needed for a Mozambique Visa application from Egypt?

For a Mozambique visa application from Egypt, you typically need:

• Passport bio-data page – valid for at least 6 months with blank pages.



• Recent photograph – passport-style photo.



• Travel itinerary – confirmed flights or travel plan.



• Accommodation details – hotel bookings or host invitation.
  Additional documents (visa type dependent) – may include proof of financial means, travel insurance, invitation letters for business visits, or other supporting documents required by the embassy or online portal.

What Mozambique visa options are available for Egyptian passport holders?

Mozambique offers several visa categories with varying durations and entry types for Egyptian travelers:

How much time does it usually take to process a Mozambique Visa from Egypt?

Applicants can choose from three speeds based on urgency, with the Mozambique eVisa process time varying accordingly.:

• Standard Processing: 6–9 Working Days



• Rush Processing: 4–7 Working Days



• Super Rush Processing: 3–5 Working Days

Is it possible to extend a Mozambique Visa after arriving in the country?

• Yes. You can apply to extend your stay while remaining in Maputo or in one of the 11 Provincial capitals of Mozambique by visiting the local SENAMI (Serviço Nacional de Migração) office, where the process for applying for an extension takes place.



• The maximum extension period is usually 30 to 60 days beyond your current expiry date on your visa.



• As a best practice, apply for your extension at least 5 days before your current visa expiration date. If your visa has expired, it may result in hefty daily fines and possible expulsion from the country.

Should Egyptian travelers choose a single-entry or multiple-entry Mozambique Visa?

Most modern Mozambique eVisas for Tourism and Business are issued as Multiple Entry by default. This is ideal if you plan to explore neighboring countries like South Africa or Zimbabwe and then return to Mozambique. However, always check the specific terms on your "Preliminary Authorization" to confirm if your granted visa is Single or Multiple entry.

When can applicants expect approval for a Mozambique Visa from Egypt?

Approval notifications are sent via email within the timeframe of your chosen processing tier. If you have not received an update within the expected window:

1. Check your spam/junk folder.



2. Log in to the eVisa portal and check for "Pending Information" status; you may need to re-upload a clearer document.

How can Egyptian applicants pay the Mozambique Visa fee?

The process of paying for the Mozambique eVisa can be broken down into two components. The first is an online processing fee that you pay online with a credit/debit card while you are filling out the application. The second part of the payment is the visa fee itself. This fee ranges based on which type of visa you need to obtain. The visa fee is paid upon arrival at your destination. When paying for your visa at the border, we suggest bringing only fresh US Dollar bills printed after 2013. Although the major airports in Mozambique, like Maputo, accept card payments, there have been times when those machines do not work.

What immigration regulations apply to Egyptians entering Mozambique with a Visa?

Upon landing, head to the "eVisa" or "Visa on Arrival" counter. You must present:

• Your Printed Preliminary Visa Authorization letter.



• Your Original Egyptian Passport.



• Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate (if applicable).



• Proof of return flight and accommodation.

Can Egyptian citizens work in Mozambique while holding a Visa?

No. Engaging in paid employment or long-term contract work while on a Tourist, Business, or Investment eVisa is strictly prohibited. If you intend to work, you must apply for a specific Work Visa (Visto de Trabalho) at the Mozambican Embassy in Cairo. This falls under the official Mozambican Visa Types and requires a labor contract cleared by the Mozambican Ministry of Labor.

Final Preparation Checklist

• Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months.



• Print two physical copies of your eVisa authorization.



• Carry a mix of cash (USD) and cards for your stay.



• Consult a travel clinic in Cairo regarding malaria prophylaxis.
