Do Nigerians Need a Visa to Mozambique?
Yes, Nigerians need a visa to travel to Mozambique
As a Nigerian traveling to Mozambique, you can obtain an e-visa for multiple reasons; tourism, business, humanitarian assistance, border, investment, sports, etc.
To obtain the e-visa, visit – https://www.evisa.gov.mz/
Once the application is accurately filled and submitted, it is sent to the National Migration Service (SENAMI) where it is processed. The applicant is informed about the status approval or disapproval of their visa through the same digital platform within 5 working days. If your visa request is approved, payment will be made upon arrival at your chosen entry border in Mozambique.
You may also file for a tourist e-visa directly with SENAMI in case the link above does not work for you (the website’s language is in Portuguese, but you can change the language to French or English) – https://sigav.senami.gov.mz/#/documents/new/B17
If your e-visa expires before your travel date for whatever reason, you have to reapply for a new e-visa.
