Mozambican passport holders need a visa to enter Ukraine in 2026. You must apply online before you travel — there are no visa-on-arrival or visa-waiver options for MZ passports. Plan ahead: processing takes at least 3–5 business days, sometimes longer during peak travel periods.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply for a visa before travel | Mozambican passport holders need a visa to enter Ukraine. Apply online at the Ukraine eVisa portal or in person at the nearest Ukrainian embassy. Processing takes up to 9 working days for an eVisa.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Ukraine. Ukraine does not require 6 months of validity beyond departure, but airlines may enforce it — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Ukraine | Border officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight or bus ticket out of Ukraine ready at passport control. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration may ask where you are staying. Have a hotel confirmation, rental agreement, or a letter from your host with their address and contact details. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officers can request evidence of sufficient funds for your stay. Carry bank statements, a credit card, or cash — roughly $50 USD per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Visa required — no exceptions
Mozambican passport holders cannot enter Ukraine without a pre-approved e-Visa. There is no visa waiver, visa on arrival, or any alternative. Apply well in advance.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Ukraine, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew before applying.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the e-Visa online
Go to the official Ukraine e-Visa portal (evisa.gov.ua/en). Fill in your personal details, passport info, travel dates, and upload a passport-style photo. Pay the fee (around $20–$30 USD) with a credit card. Processing usually takes 3–5 business days, but can take up to 10 during peak periods.
2
Wait for approval and print confirmation
Check your email (and spam folder) for the visa decision. Once approved, you'll receive a PDF. Print it and save a copy on your phone. The visa is electronically linked to your passport, but having a physical copy avoids hassle.
3
Prepare your documents for border control
At the airport in Ukraine (most likely Kyiv Boryspil or Lviv), join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Have your passport, printed visa approval, return ticket, and accommodation booking ready. The officer may ask a few questions about your trip — answer clearly and briefly.
4
Get your passport stamped and enter
The officer will stamp your passport with your entry date and the allowed stay period. Check the stamp before leaving the counter — if the dates look wrong, ask for clarification immediately. You're now in Ukraine.
