Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| E-visa for ChadYou cannot get a visa on arrival; you need to apply and receive approval online before you fly. Apply before travel | Mozambican passport holders must obtain an e-visa prior to arrival in Chad. The application is submitted online, and the e-visa must be approved before departure. | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport expiry date — if it's less than 6 months away, renew it before traveling. At least 6 months | Your Mozambique passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Chad. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe immigration officer will stamp your passport on arrival, so you need a clean page for that. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least one blank page for the entry stamp. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketHaving a ticket out of Chad shows you intend to leave, which can help avoid questions at the border. May be requested | Although not explicitly required by the database, immigration officials may ask for proof of a return or onward ticket. It is strongly recommended to have one. | Recommended |
| Proof of fundsCarry some cash (XAF) or a bank card and be ready to show you can support yourself during your visit. May be requested | While not listed as a formal requirement, you should be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds for your stay in Chad, such as cash or bank statements. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any online form before landing. Not required | No arrival declaration is required for Chad based on current regulations. | Not required |
Yellow fever vaccine required
Chad requires proof of yellow fever vaccination for all travellers over 9 months old. Carry your yellow card — immigration may ask for it at the border.
Currency and cash
Chad uses the Central African CFA franc (XAF). Credit cards are rarely accepted outside major hotels. Bring enough euros or US dollars to exchange at the airport or a bank.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for your e-visa online
Go to the official Chad e-visa portal (e-visa.td). Fill in your personal details, passport info, and travel dates. Upload a passport-style photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee with a credit or debit card. Processing usually takes 3–5 business days.
2
Receive and print your visa approval
Once approved, you'll get an email with a PDF. Print a copy and save a digital version on your phone. You'll need to show this at check-in and on arrival.
3
Arrive at N'Djamena International Airport
After landing, head to the immigration hall. Join the queue for foreign passports. Hand over your passport, printed e-visa, and return ticket. The officer will stamp you in. Keep your boarding pass handy — they sometimes ask for it.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After immigration, go to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually no customs declaration for personal items. Exit into the arrivals hall.
