eVisa only — no visa on arrival
Bangladeshi passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Mozambique. You must apply online before you travel. Don't show up at the airport expecting to sort it there.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Mozambique, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it first.

Frequently asked questions
No. As of 2026, there is no visa-on-arrival option for Bangladeshi nationals. You must apply for an eVisa online before you travel.
Typically 3–5 business days. Apply at least a week before your departure to be safe. During holidays or peak travel seasons, it can take longer.
The official fee varies by nationality and is set by the Mozambican government. Check the eVisa portal (evisa.gov.mz) for the exact amount — it's usually around $50–$80 USD. Pay with a credit or debit card.
No. The eVisa is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must leave the country and apply for a new visa from abroad.
Your eVisa application will likely be rejected. Renew your passport first, then apply. The 6-month validity is counted from your date of entry into Mozambique.
Mozambique requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you are arriving from a country with yellow fever risk. Bangladesh is not a yellow fever endemic country, so you generally don't need it unless you've recently traveled to an endemic area. Check with your doctor or a travel clinic before departure.
Immigration may deny you entry. Always have a confirmed onward or return ticket. A screenshot on your phone is usually accepted, but a printed copy is safer.
