Jordanian passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Mozambique. The process is straightforward at Maputo International Airport and other major entry points. As of 2026, you'll need a valid passport, a return ticket, and enough cash for the visa fee.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa on arrival Visa on arrival | Get your visa on arrival at Maputo International Airport and other land borders. Have a printed copy of your hotel booking and return ticket ready to show at the visa counter. The visa costs around 650 MZN (single entry) or 3,000 MZN (multiple entry) — bring cash in USD or EUR for the fee.Apply online | Required |
| Valid passport Must have at least 6 months validity beyond your intended departure date | Your passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from the day you plan to leave Mozambique. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of onward travel | Immigration officers routinely ask for a printed or digital copy of your onward ticket out of Mozambique. Without one, you may be refused entry or sent to buy a ticket at the airport counter. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host ready. Officers at Maputo airport sometimes ask for it during the visa-on-arrival process. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Carry a bank statement showing at least $500 USD or the equivalent in cash. Immigration may ask to see it, especially if you do not have a return ticket. | Recommended |
Cash only for visa on arrival
The visa counter at Maputo airport does not accept credit cards. Bring USD or Mozambican meticals in cash. Small bills ($5, $10) are best — large notes may be hard to change.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Mozambique, not from your departure date. If it's close to expiring, renew before you travel.

Once you have the visa sticker, go to the passport control queue. Show your passport with the new visa. You may be asked a few questions — keep answers simple and honest.
