As Mozambique opens its doors to the world, the new digitally enabled e‑Visa system forms part of the Government of Mozambique’s broader digital transformation and border modernisation agenda, aimed at improving efficiency, transparency and traveller convenience in supporting increased tourism and investment flows into the country.
Powered by VFS Global, the digital platform said to introduce advanced automation, secure data processing and cloud-based infrastructure, enabling travellers from 183 countries worldwide, including India, to apply online for Mozambique visas through a secure, fully integrated e‑Visa solution that manages non‑judgmental and administrative aspects of visa applications.
The solution covers multiple categories of visa and ETA, including tourist, business, crew transhipment, sports and culture, humanitarian assistance, and oil and gas, with stay durations ranging from short‑term visas to long‑term visas of up to two years, all through a single, unified system.
Commenting on the initiative, Jiten Vyas, Chief Commercial Officer of VFS Global, said, “We are privileged to partner with the Government of Mozambique on this important digital transformation initiative, which reflects a shared commitment to facilitating secure and efficient global mobility. The newly upgraded platform integrates modern digital capabilities, representing an important digital gateway for travellers, businesses and investors, reinforcing Mozambique’s commitment to welcoming the world through secure, efficient and technology‑driven mobility solutions. As part of its implementation, the e‑Visa project supports local employment and capacity, thereby contributing to skills development and job creation in the country.”
The launch of the digitally enhanced system is also expected to play a key role in promoting Mozambique globally, with a planned tourism promotion programme that leverages the digital platform and an extensive international network to support inbound travel growth in line with the Government’s tourism objectives.
The Government of Mozambique retains sole authority over visa decisions. VFS Global manages only non‑judgmental administrative processes through the platform, ensuring a clear separation between service delivery and sovereign decision‑making.
