Mozambique travel guide for Americans

U.S. citizens do not need a visa for tourism or business visits of up to 30 days, but they must hold an approved Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) from the official Mozambique eVisa/ETA portal before travel – about US$37 plus a 650 MT processing fee, paid online. A passport with at least six months remaining, a confirmed return ticket and proof of sufficient funds are required, and you must show the ETA approval on arrival.

Mozambique does not host a U.S. embassy; the nearest mission is the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa (address: 877 Francis Baard Street, Pretoria). For emergencies, call the embassy’s 24‑hour hotline.

Budget estimate for a 10‑day trip (mid‑range):

• Flights from major U.S. hubs to Maputo: $1,200–$1,600

• ETA fee: about US$37 plus a 650 MT processing fee (paid online)

• Accommodation (mid‑range hotels): $60–$100 per night

• Meals and transport: $30–$50 per day

Total approximate cost: $2,150–$3,150 (USD).

Also alert your lodge or hotel for assistance.
