Quick links to driving distances and directions:

Passports

Everyone needs a passport to enter Mozambique.

• It must be current and valid for 6 months (some borders are not so fussy on this but under 30 days becomes a problem)
• It must be your passport
• Two clear pages are required
• Torn, wet, grubby passports especially where the picture or pages are damaged may be refused entry

Visa's

SA passport holders do not need a visa but at the border they will still charge a R17 'admin fee'.

Other Nationality passports:
Most other nationalities require a visa, these can be obtained from an embassy in advance and the cost varies from R750 (UK / US) to R350 most European countries and South America.

The cost is a reflection of how much a visa would be for a Mozambican to visit your country

Visa's for most nationalities are available at most entry points into Mozamabique as follows:
