Indian passport holders can apply for the Mozambique eVisa for Indians online in 2026 by submitting a valid passport (6+ months validity), a digital photograph, and travel documents through evisa.gov.mz. The approximate cost is USD 50 (approximately INR 4,200), processing takes 5-10 business days, and the approved eVisa arrives by email as a PDF.
India is listed among the eligible countries on the Mozambique eVisa portal operated by the Serviço Nacional de Migração (SENAMI), which relaunched on 11 February 2026 (previous platform discontinued). Indian nationals are not eligible for the eTA scheme and must use the full eVisa, which offers longer stays (up to 90 days, multiple entry) compared with the 30-day eTA available to UK, US, or EU passport holders.
The Mozambique High Commission in London (21 Fitzroy Square, London W1T 6EL, tel. +44 (0) 207 383 3800, consular hours 10:00 am-1:00 pm Mon-Fri) no longer issues tourist or business visas directly. All Indian applicants, including those residing in the UK, must apply exclusively through the eVisa digital platform at evisa.gov.mz.
