When to Contact a Mozambique Embassy {#when-to-contact}
Most travellers to Mozambique no longer need to visit an embassy for tourist or business visas — the online eVisa portal at evisa.gov.mz handles standard applications. However, you should contact a Mozambique embassy or consulate when you need:
- Work visa or residence visa applications (these require pre-authorization from immigration authorities in Mozambique)
- Document legalisation and authentication services
- Birth, marriage, or death registration for Mozambican citizens abroad
- Passport issuance or renewal for Mozambican nationals
- Emergency consular assistance (lost passport, legal trouble, medical emergencies)
- Diplomatic or official visa applications for government travel
- Transit visas for certain nationalities not eligible for the eTA
Tip: If your nationality is eligible for the eVisa or ETA, applying online at evisa.gov.mz is significantly faster and cheaper than applying through an embassy. See our Mozambique eVisa Application guide for step-by-step instructions.

| Operating Authority | Mozambique National Immigration Service (SENAMI) |
| What to apply for | Tourist eVisa, Business eVisa, Investment eVisa, ETA |

Tips for Contacting Mozambique Embassies {#tips}
- Call before visiting. Embassy hours can change without notice — always confirm by phone or email before making a trip.
- Email is often more reliable. Many Mozambique embassies have limited phone lines. Emailing your visa or consular query often produces a faster, more documented response.
- Prepare documents in advance. For visa applications, have all documents ready before contacting the embassy. Missing documents cause the most delays.
- Use the right subject line. When emailing a visa query, include your nationality and visa type in the subject line (e.g., “US Citizen — Tourist Visa Application”).
- Bring correct payment. Most embassies only accept money orders or bank transfers — not cash and not personal cheques.
- Allow extra time. Embassy processing times are estimates. Work and residence visas in particular can take longer during peak periods.
- Check visa-exempt status first. If you’re from a visa-exempt country, you can apply for an ETA online — no embassy visit needed. See our Mozambique Visa Exempt Countries guide.
- For emergencies outside office hours, contact your own country’s embassy or consulate in Mozambique, which can liaise with local authorities on your behalf.
Frequently Asked Questions {#faq}
Do I need to visit a Mozambique embassy to get a visa?
Not necessarily. If you are from a country eligible for eVisa or ETA, you can apply entirely online at evisa.gov.mz. Embassy visits are only required for work visas, residence visas, diplomatic visas, or special categories not available through the online portal.
Can I apply for a tourist visa at the Mozambique embassy?
Most Mozambique embassies no longer process tourist or business visas — these are handled exclusively through the online eVisa portal. The High Commission in London has explicitly stated it no longer issues tourist and business visas. Contact your nearest embassy to confirm current policy.
How long does it take to get a visa through the embassy?
Standard processing at the Washington DC embassy takes up to 10 business days (single entry: $220). Expedited processing takes 3 business days (single entry: $280). Work and residence visas require pre-authorization from Mozambique authorities and can take up to 30 working days.
What if there is no Mozambique embassy in my country?
If there is no Mozambique diplomatic mission in your country, you can apply online through evisa.gov.mz. Alternatively, contact the nearest Mozambique embassy in a neighbouring country or the Mozambique Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly at embamoc.gov.mz.
Can I get consular assistance if I’m in trouble in Mozambique?
Yes. Contact your own country’s embassy or consulate in Maputo. Foreign embassies based in Maputo include those of the United States, United Kingdom, South Africa, Portugal, Brazil, India, China, France, Germany, Ireland, and many others. If you are a Mozambican citizen abroad, contact your nearest Mozambique embassy.
What payment methods do Mozambique embassies accept?
Payment methods vary by embassy. The Washington DC embassy accepts money orders only (payable to “Embassy of Mozambique”). The London High Commission accepts debit/credit cards on site (no American Express), postal orders, company cheques, and bank transfers. Personal cheques and cash are generally not accepted.
Is the Mozambique High Commission in London the same as an embassy?
Functionally yes — a high commission is the equivalent of an embassy but operates between Commonwealth countries. The London High Commission performs the same consular and diplomatic functions as the Washington DC embassy.
