Africa

Africa is the second largest and second most populous continent, covering approximately 20% of the Earth’s surface and situated primarily between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Made up of 54 recognised countries, Africa is renowned for its diverse cultures, rich history, and vast natural resources, including the Sahara Desert, the Nile River, and the Serengeti Plain. The continent is cut almost equally in two by the Equator, meaning most of Africa lies within the tropical region, bounded on the north by the Tropic of Cancer and on the south by the Tropic of Capricorn.

Visa Guidelines

To be successful your content needs to be useful to your readers.

Start with the customer – find out what they want and give it to them.

Visa applications? Not exactly riveting, but often essential and always unavoidable.

We’ve done the research and pulled everything together to save you time, effort, and energy.

In the tabs, you can check if your child or student needs a visa for their trip. If they do, you’ll find clear guidance, embassy links, required documents, and step-by-step instructions.

And when it comes to submitting the application, parents really are best placed. After all, no one knows the travelling student better.

Parents should ensure that their child's documents meet the official travel requirements for Mozambique.

If your child holds multiple passports and plans to travel with one, while their UAE residency visa is linked to another, please make sure they carry both passports during their trip!

Review the sample documents and the relevant official checklists to ensure that all specific criteria are met.

Passport Validity (Minimum):

  • 6 months after entry into Mozambique

UAE Residency Validity (Minimum):

  • 3 months after expected return to UAE

Parent/Guardian NOC:

  • Required

School/College NOC:

  • Required

Almost all nationalities require a tourist visa to enter Mozambique.

To confirm if your child is visa-exempt, please click here.

To confirm whether your child needs to apply for a tourist visa directly at the Embassy or Consulate, please click here.

If your child is not exempt from applying for a visa and is not a citizen of one of the few countries that must apply directly at the Embassy or Consulate, they will need to apply for a tourist visa online (eVisa).  

We recommend that all minors travelling internationally, without a parent or guardian, carry both a signed parental NOC and a school NOC with them. Samples of each are provided below. This can help to mitigate any potential issues at border control and streamline the immigration process.
