🇨🇦 Does a Canadian need a visa for Mozambique 🇲🇿?
No visa, but an ETA. Canadian passport holders do not need a visa for Mozambique, but must get an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) online before travelling.
Rule updated from Wikipedia's “Visa requirements for Canadian citizens” (checked 2026-10-04); the older passport-index dataset (January 2025) listed Visa-free for up to 30 days. Entry rules change: confirm with the embassy of Mozambique or its official government website before you travel.
What this means for your trip
An ETA (electronic travel authorisation) is not a visa: it is an online pre-screening that airlines check before boarding.
It is normally approved within minutes to a few days; apply before you book non-refundable travel.
Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.

Plugs and voltage
You need a travel adapter: Mozambique uses plug types C, D, F, M, Canada uses A, B. Mains voltage differs (Mozambique: 220 V; Canada: 120 V): most phone and laptop chargers accept 100–240 V, but single-voltage devices such as some hair dryers need a converter.
