🇪🇹 Does an Ethiopian need a visa for Mozambique 🇲🇿?
Yes. Ethiopian passport holders need a visa for Mozambique, applied for at an embassy or consulate of Mozambique before travelling.
Rule updated from Wikipedia's “Visa requirements for Ethiopian citizens” (checked 2026-10-04); the older passport-index dataset (January 2025) listed Visa on arrival. Entry rules change: confirm with the embassy of Mozambique or its official government website before you travel.
What this means for your trip
You apply at an embassy, consulate or authorised visa centre of the destination, usually with an application form, passport photos, bank statements, travel itinerary and accommodation bookings.
Processing takes days to weeks, and some embassies require an interview; start the application well before your trip.
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.
Where to apply in Ethiopia
If you live in Ethiopia, visas for Mozambique are issued by its missions there. Many of them use an outsourced visa application centre: the mission's website says where to apply and which office covers your region.
