Mozambique Restores ETA for 29 Visa-Exempt Countries | No Change for Indian Travellers

Mozambique has reinstated its mandatory Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) requirement for citizens of 29 visa-exempt countries, effective July 31, 2026. The system had been suspended since 2025 because of technical issues and has now resumed following the introduction of a new VFS Global-supported digital visa platform launched in February 2026.

The ETA requirement applies only to nationals of the 29 visa-exempt countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, and several European countries. An approved ETA allows a single entry and a stay of up to 30 days.

There is no change for Indian travellers. India is not included in the list of 29 visa-exempt countries, so Indian passport holders must continue obtaining a Mozambique eVisa before departure through the same digital platform.

Travellers should also note that airlines are expected to verify valid travel authorization before boarding. To avoid last-minute travel disruptions, applicants are advised to complete the required visa or travel authorization process well before their departure date and verify the latest requirements through official Mozambique immigration channels.
