visas on arrival
Mozguide - News

VISA WARNING!

 Due (supposedly) to the large number of foreigners working and seeking work in Mozambique, the authorities at some airports are becoming more strict on who they allow into the country.   Visitors who are suspected of seeking work, and do not have hotel bookings or onward / return tickets are now being refused entry unless they can prove that they are bona-fide tourists.

Mozambique visas are still being issued to genuine tourists on arrival.

The regulation is simply that ONLY TOURIST VISAS ARE ISSUED ON ARRIVAL, so anyone doing business or seeking work must apply for and be issued a business (negocios) visa at a consulate before departure.   Some travellers have been refused entry at International airports such as Maputo, Tete and Nampula, but I have not had any reports (yet) that land borders are refusing to issue visas.

So always best to get a visa before departure, but if this is not practical, and you are a real tourist, then you should be issued with a visa on arrival as has been the case for over ten years now.

Road between Chokwe and Chibuto Hi Yes I also try to avoid the choas and cops of Xai-Xai, so usually recommend the Chibuto route even though before the floods the potholes were starting to get very bad on sections of this route. I have no updates on Chokwe - Guija (Canicado) - Chibuto -...

I recently returned from central Mozambique where I viewed the solar eclipse from the remote 4km-long Dona Anna Bridge that spans the Zambezi between Sena and Mutarara. This spot is so remote that most maps don't even show the tracks which lead up to it. I had expected that my little group in...(2181)

THE FAR SIDE.Why ask Toyota to lend me their latest 4x4 (the Condor RV 2.4i), and then drive it for 30 hours through eight border posts and four countries to a dead-end in northern Mozambique on the border with Tanzania, 3000km from here (Johannesburg)? This is what both Toyota and my wife,...(1637)
