Indonesian passport holders need an eVisa to enter Mozambique, which you can apply for online before you travel. The eVisa allows a stay of up to 30 days, and your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Mozambique eVisaYou must get this visa online before you fly; it cannot be obtained on arrival. Apply before travel | Indonesian passport holders must obtain an eVisa before departure. The eVisa allows a stay of up to 30 days and is not extendable. Apply online through the official Mozambique eVisa portal, pay the fee, and receive an approved eVisa by email. Print a copy to present upon arrival. | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport expiry date — if it's too close, renew it before traveling. At least 6 months | Your Indonesian passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Mozambique. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesImmigration officers need a clean page to stamp your passport. At least 1 page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for the entry stamp. Ensure no pages are damaged or missing. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketImmigration may ask to see proof that you plan to leave the country. Proof of departure | You must have a confirmed return or onward flight ticket showing departure from Mozambique within the 30-day allowed stay. | Required |
| Proof of fundsNot always asked, but having proof of money helps avoid issues at entry. Sufficient for stay | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds (cash, bank statement, or credit card) to cover your expenses during your stay in Mozambique. | Recommended |
| Yellow fever vaccination certificateCheck if your transit or origin country requires this certificate. If arriving from endemic area | If you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission, you must present a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate. Indonesia is not currently listed as a risk country, but this may apply if you travel via an endemic country. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any separate arrival form. Not required | Mozambique does not require an arrival declaration form for Indonesian passport holders. | Not required |
No visa on arrival for Indonesian citizens
Don't assume you can get a visa at the airport. The eVisa must be obtained before you travel. Arriving without one means you'll be sent back on the next flight.
Passport validity is critical
Mozambique enforces the 6-month validity rule. If your passport expires within 6 months of your arrival date, you'll be denied boarding. Check your passport now, not the night before your flight.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Mozambique eVisa portal, fill out the application form with your personal and passport details, upload a recent passport-style photo and a copy of your passport bio page, and pay the visa fee online. Processing typically takes 3 to 5 business days.
2
Receive your eVisa approval
Once approved, you'll receive an email with your eVisa approval document. Print a copy to carry with you — you'll need to show it at check-in and to immigration officers on arrival.
3
Arrive at Maputo International Airport (or other entry point)
When you land, go to the immigration queue for 'Visas' or 'Foreigners'. Present your passport, printed eVisa, and any other documents (return ticket, accommodation). The officer will stamp your passport with a 30-day entry permit.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After clearing immigration, proceed to baggage claim and customs. Keep your passport and entry stamp safe — you'll need them when you leave the country.

Frequently asked questions
Processing usually takes 3 to 5 business days, but it can take longer during peak periods. It's best to apply at least a week before your planned travel date to avoid delays.
The fee varies depending on the type of visa and processing speed. Standard single-entry tourist visas typically cost around $50–$80 USD, but check the official portal for the exact amount at the time of application.
No, the eVisa for Indonesian citizens is not extendable. You must leave the country before the 30 days are up. If you need to stay longer, you'd have to exit and re-enter with a new visa.
You will be denied entry. There is no visa-on-arrival option for Indonesian passport holders. You must have the approved eVisa before you board your flight.
Only if you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. If you're coming directly from Indonesia, it's not required, but if you've been in an at-risk country within the last 6 days, you'll need the certificate.
The eVisa is accepted at major international airports like Maputo, Beira, and Nampula, as well as at most land border posts. However, it's always safer to enter through a major airport to avoid any issues with less-equipped border crossings.
You'll need your passport (valid 6 months), the printed eVisa approval, a return or onward ticket, and proof of accommodation. Have these ready in your hand luggage, not in your checked bag.
