Citizens of all other countries that are not visa exempt can obtain a visa on arrival in Mozambique, valid for a maximum stay of 30 days at all border posts, if they present a passport valid for 6 months on arrival [13] and a return or onward ticket, as well as proof of sufficient funds to support their stay and proof of the purpose of their visit. [3] A visa obtained on arrival costs 50 USD, which is significantly cheaper than an eVisa.
