No visa on arrival — apply in advance
Mozambique does not offer visa-on-arrival for Singapore passport holders. You must have an approved e-visa before you board your flight. Airlines will check this at check-in, and without it, you won't be allowed to fly.
E-visa is linked to your passport
Your e-visa is electronically linked to your passport number. If you renew your passport after getting the e-visa, you'll need to reapply. Make sure the passport you use to apply is the one you travel with.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for the e-visa online
Go to https://evisa.gov.mz/ and fill out the application form. You'll need to upload a scanned copy of your passport bio page, a passport-sized photo, and pay the fee online. Processing typically takes 3–5 business days, so apply at least a week before your trip.
2
Receive your e-visa by email
Once approved, you'll receive an e-visa document by email. Print it out and keep a digital copy on your phone. The e-visa is linked to your passport number, so you don't need to carry a separate visa sticker.
3
Arrive at Maputo International Airport (or other entry points)
When you land, go to the immigration desk for foreign passports. Present your passport, e-visa printout, and any supporting documents (return ticket, accommodation). The officer will check your details and stamp you in for up to 30 days. The process usually takes 10–15 minutes if your paperwork is in order.

Frequently asked questions
Processing usually takes 3–5 business days, but it can take longer during peak periods. Apply at least a week before your trip to be safe. The official portal is https://evisa.gov.mz/.
No. The e-visa is not extendable. You must leave Mozambique before the 30 days are up. If you overstay, you'll face fines and potential difficulties at immigration.
You'll be denied entry and sent back on the next available flight. There is no visa-on-arrival for Singapore passport holders. Don't risk it — get the e-visa before you fly.
The fee is set by the Mozambique government and is payable online during the application. It varies by nationality and visa type, so check the official portal for the exact amount. Expect to pay in USD or via card.
Only if you're arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Singapore is not a risk country, so if you're flying directly from Singapore, you don't need it. But if you've been in Africa or South America recently, you'll need to show the certificate.
The e-visa is valid for entry at all official ports of entry, including Maputo International Airport, Beira Airport, and land border crossings. However, it's always a good idea to carry a printed copy and have your passport ready.
Immigration requires at least 1 blank page for the entry stamp. If your passport is damaged or has no blank pages, you'll be refused entry. Renew your passport before applying for the e-visa.
