Mozambican passport holders can visit Dominica without a visa for up to 180 days. This visa-free arrangement is in effect for 2026 and covers tourism, business, and short-term visits. Just make sure your passport is valid for at least six months from your date of entry.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Dominica. Dominica does not require 6 months of validity beyond your departure date, but airlines may enforce this — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Dominica | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at the border. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking out of Dominica ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel reservation confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Dominica. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Evidence of sufficient money for your stay | Keep a bank statement or credit card ready showing you can cover your expenses. Dominica does not publish a minimum amount, but having at least $500 USD equivalent is a safe bet. | Recommended |
Passport validity is critical
Dominica enforces the 6-month passport validity rule strictly. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be turned away at the airport. Check your passport's expiry date now — if it's less than 6 months from your travel date, renew it before booking anything.
No visa, no fees, no fuss
Mozambican passport holders get 180 days visa-free in Dominica. No application, no payment, no embassy visit. Just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Dominica immigration
At Douglas-Charles Airport (DOM) or Canefield Airport, join the 'Visitors' queue. Have your passport and return ticket ready. The officer will check your passport validity, stamp you in, and note your allowed stay (usually 180 days). The process takes 2–5 minutes per person.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport and, if asked, your return ticket and accommodation confirmation. Answer any questions about your stay (purpose, duration, where you're staying). Be polite and direct.
3
Receive entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with the date of entry and the date you must leave. Check the stamp before walking away — if the dates look wrong, ask for clarification immediately.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free entry is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must leave Dominica before the 180 days are up and re-enter later. Overstaying can result in fines or being barred from re-entry.
Dominica requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Mozambique is not on that list, so you generally don't need it for direct travel. But if you've recently been in a yellow fever endemic country, carry your certificate.
You will be denied entry. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced. If your passport has less than 6 months remaining from your entry date, renew it before you travel.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and short visits only. Any paid work, volunteering, or study requires a separate work or student visa. Contact the Dominica Immigration Department before you travel if that's your plan.
No. Dominica does not require an arrival declaration or online pre-registration for Mozambican passport holders. You simply show up with your passport and documents at immigration.
The Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD) is the local currency. US dollars are widely accepted at hotels and larger shops, but you'll get change in XCD. ATMs are available in Roseau and at the airport. Carry some cash for small purchases and taxis.
Yes. Ferries run from Guadeloupe, Martinique, St. Lucia, and other Caribbean islands. The same visa-free rules apply — no visa needed for up to 180 days. Just have your passport and return ticket ready at the ferry terminal.
