The visa application requirements depend on the visit's purpose - for tourism, business, or transit purposes.
A valid Passport: The first document required when applying for a Mozambique visa is a valid passport with six months remaining validity after your intended stay in the country. It should contain at least two blank pages, which must be presented upon arrival at the immigration office, so make sure your passport meets all these requirements before applying.
Two photos must adhere to strict guidelines set by the government of Mozambique; they must have been taken within the last 6 months, have a white background, and be printed on high-quality photo paper. The face in the photograph should occupy 70 to 80 percent of the frame and show no expression.
A request form: A request form is one document that must be completed and submitted to have the visa application process begin. The request form, which can be found on the Mozambique Embassy website, is a standardized set of questions that must be answered accurately for an individual's application to be considered.
A fee receipt: A fee associated with obtaining a visa may be paid at the embassy or consulate of Mozambique once you have submitted your application. Don't forget to attach the receipt of payment to the necessary documents.
Health Security: When applying for your visa, certain medical documents will be required to prove your health status is secure. This includes documentation outlining current vaccinations against diseases such as yellow fever and meningitis.
Statement for a financial position: A financial position is necessary to prove that you have enough funds to stay in Mozambique for the duration of your visit. It should include information about your current income and assets and any debts or other liabilities.
A cover letter for a resume: A cover letter should be concise, professional, and directly address why you would be a great addition to the team in Mozambique. Your motivation behind wanting to work in the country should be clearly stated within this document, along with any applicable skills or experience that makes you a viable candidate.
Proof of accommodation: A hotel booking confirmation or rental agreement constitutes valid proof of accommodation and should include details such as address and duration of stay.
Letter of request (if applicable): When writing the letter of request, ensure that you include information such as who is sponsoring the trip, why they are going, how long they will stay in Mozambique, and what type of activities they will be engaged in.
Criminal Records: All applicants wanting entry into Mozambique must have their fingerprints taken at a local police station and receive a document commonly known as a 'Certificate of Good Conduct' or 'Certificado de Antecedentes Criminais' from their home country.
Flight plans: When applying for a Mozambican visa, travelers must provide detailed flight plans that include arrival and departure information and any stopovers.
