Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Mozambique e-VisaYou need to get this visa online before you fly – it is not available on arrival. Apply before travel | Ukrainian citizens must obtain an e-Visa before arrival. The e-Visa permits a single entry for a maximum stay of 30 days. Apply online at the official Mozambique e-Visa portal. | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport expiry – if it is less than 6 months away, renew it before you go. At least 6 months | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Mozambique. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesMake sure there is a completely empty page in your passport for the border officer to stamp. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least one blank page for the entry stamp. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketBorder officials may ask to see your exit flight – have it ready. Proof of departure | You must be able to show a confirmed return or onward ticket proving you will leave Mozambique before your 30-day stay expires. | Required |
| Proof of sufficient fundsCarry bank statements or cash to show you can support yourself while in the country. For your stay | You may be asked to show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your expenses during your stay in Mozambique.

| Vaccination certificate (yellow fever)If your flight stops in a yellow-fever zone, you must have the vaccination certificate. If arriving from risk country | A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Ukraine is not a risk country, but if you travel via such a country, you will need the certificate. | Required |
| Travel insuranceMedical care can be expensive – insurance protects you if you get sick or injured. Recommended | While not mandatory for visa approval, comprehensive travel insurance covering medical expenses and evacuation is strongly recommended for your trip to Mozambique. | Recommended |
Apply early — don't risk it
The e-visa can take a few business days to process. Don't book non-refundable flights or hotels until you have the approved visa in hand. Also, double-check your passport's validity — 6 months from your arrival date is a hard requirement.
Print your e-visa
You must have a printed copy of your approved e-visa. Showing it on your phone is not reliable — immigration may not accept it. Print two copies and keep them separate from your passport.
