No visa on arrival — don't risk it
Kosovo does not offer visa-on-arrival for Mozambique passport holders. Arriving without a visa means you'll be refused entry and sent back. Always get your visa approved before you fly.
Apply well in advance
Visa processing can take up to 15 working days or longer, and you may need to coordinate with an embassy outside Mozambique. Start the process at least 6-8 weeks before your planned departure.
What happens at the border
1
Contact the nearest Kosovo embassy or consulate
Find the Kosovo diplomatic mission that covers your region. Since Mozambique may not have a local embassy, you might need to apply through the Kosovo embassy in a neighboring country, such as South Africa, or via a consulate that handles visa applications for your area. Call or email them to confirm the exact process and required documents.
2
Prepare your application package
Gather all required documents: valid passport, completed application form, photos, travel bookings, proof of funds, and insurance. Make copies of everything. Double-check that your passport has at least 6 months validity and 1 blank page.
3
Submit your application and pay the fee
Submit your application in person or by mail, depending on the embassy's rules. Pay the visa fee (typically around €40 to €60 for a short-stay visa, but confirm with the embassy). Keep the receipt as proof of payment.
4
Wait for processing
Processing can take anywhere from 5 to 15 working days, sometimes longer. Plan your travel dates well in advance. You may be asked for an interview or additional documents.
5
Collect your visa and travel
Once approved, collect your passport with the visa sticker. Check the visa dates and entry conditions. When you arrive in Kosovo, go through passport control and present your passport. The border officer will stamp your entry.

Frequently asked questions
No. Kosovo does not offer visa-on-arrival for Mozambique passport holders. You must obtain a visa before you travel, from a Kosovo embassy or consulate.
Processing typically takes 5 to 15 working days, but it can be longer depending on the embassy's workload and whether they need to consult with authorities in Pristina. Apply at least a month before your planned travel to be safe.
The visa fee is usually around €40 to €60 for a short-stay visa, but it can vary by embassy and visa type. Check with the specific embassy where you apply for the exact amount and acceptable payment methods.
Kosovo has a limited number of diplomatic missions. There is no Kosovo embassy in Mozambique. You may need to apply through the Kosovo embassy in a neighboring country, such as South Africa, or use a visa service. Contact the Kosovo Ministry of Foreign Affairs for guidance on which embassy handles your case.
No, the visa is not extendable. You must leave before your visa expires. If you need to stay longer, you would have to leave and reapply from outside Kosovo.
You will be denied entry and may be put on the next flight back. Airlines also check visa requirements before boarding, so you won't be able to fly without a valid visa. Always have your visa approved before departure.
Having a Schengen visa does not exempt Mozambique passport holders from needing a Kosovo visa. You still need to obtain a Kosovo visa separately.
