Go to evisa.gov.mz, fill in your personal and passport details, upload a passport-style photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee (around $50–$80 depending on processing speed). Processing takes 3–5 business days. You'll receive the approved visa by email.

Frequently asked questions
No. Pakistani passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival. You must apply for an eVisa at evisa.gov.mz before you travel. The eVisa is valid for single entry and typically allows stays up to 30 days.
The fee varies by processing speed. Standard processing (3–5 business days) is around $50. Express processing (24–48 hours) is about $80. Payment is online by credit or debit card.
Standard processing takes 3–5 business days. Express processing takes 24–48 hours. Apply at least a week before your flight to be safe — delays happen.
If you're arriving from a country with yellow fever (including Pakistan), you need a yellow fever vaccination certificate. If you're flying directly from Pakistan, you'll need it. Get the vaccine at least 10 days before travel.
No. The eVisa is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave the country and re-enter with a new eVisa. Plan your trip accordingly.
Rejections are rare but can happen if your documents are incomplete or your passport has less than 6 months validity. You can reapply with corrected information. The fee is non-refundable.
Not officially required, but it's smart to have a bank statement or credit card showing you can support yourself. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do, a few hundred dollars in cash or a card with a decent limit is enough.
