Last year I simply paid approximately $21 cash upon arrival at Maputo for my Mozambique visa.
Is this still the situation?
Thanks, I don't want to arrive without sufficient paperwork.
Two items: I am Canadian and carrying a bow, rather than a firearm.

I simply paid at the border last Sept. We drove in from Zim and didn't bring any weapons with us. I used the camp .375 so can't help you with the bow question. Your outfitter/agent should have all that info at their finger tips.

I wish I knew the answer. When I went 2 years ago, I had to send my passport to the Moz embassy in Washington to get my visa ahead of time. Don't know if that holds true for you or not

From the Travel.State.Gov web site:

Mozambique Country Specific Information

ENTRY / EXIT REQUIREMENTS FOR U.S. CITIZENS: A visa is required for entry into Mozambique. It is recommended that travelers acquire the appropriate visa prior to departing for Mozambique, although a one-entry visa can be purchased for $82 at country points of entry, including airports. Foreigners in Mozambique without a valid visa can expect to pay a substantial fine ($33) for each day they are in Mozambique illegally. The fine can be assessed upon travelers’ departure or if travelers are caught by authorities while still in Mozambique. Please pay close attention to the period you are authorized to stay in Mozambique on your visa ("Autorizado a permaneçer pelo período de [number of days]"). This is the maximum number of days you may stay before you must depart Mozambique. The passports of all travelers who wish to enter Mozambique must be valid for six months upon arrival and must contain at least three clean (unstamped) visa pages each time entry is sought. The Mozambican Embassy and Consulates in South Africa charge up to five times the amount charged in the United States or at border crossing points for a tourist visa to Mozambique. Visit the Embassy of Mozambique website for the most current visa information.

DAL,

I always recommend that clients get the visa beforehand as it just saves time and hassle fiddling around when crossing the border.

DAL,

This might help.

It is from the Canadian government travel site. Visas available at the border or the embassy in Washington. No Moz embassy in Canada, contact info available on the site above. IIRC I called the embassy to be sure of the latest regulations.

at larger airports or port of entry(Beira, Maputo, etc.) it can be obtained on arrival( that's what i did on my first hunt through Beira).at small border posts( which won't have the necessary visa to stick in your passport) you must send your passport to the Moz embassy( yes, i know it is nerve wracking to send your passport to a third world country's embassy in Washington) to have them place the visa in your passport. that's what i did when i crossed from Zim into Moz at Macamburra( a REALLY small border crossing). bottom line though is that your outfitter should have all the info you need to solve the problem.

Thanks, all!
Looks like $82 and my passport at Pemba on arrival will do.

Last week I paid USD84 into Tete. The amount and the forms are changing often apparently.

Save the hassle and get one before you go unless you like to spend time in a queue!

Cheers and good hunting, Chris

Paid an even $80 in Pemba on July 29.

Tim I guess Pemba is a fairly small airport so might not wait too long for visa? I was rushing to a meeting so was fortunate to be business class from Jo'burg.I would have missed the meeting if I had not been near the front of the queue. Should really have picked up a visa in Dar I suppose.
Best wishes, Chris

Sent my info to my PH ahead of time, showed passport on arrival in Beira, picked up visa and we were on our way in less than 10 minutes. Always good to be with a PH who knows his way around the arrival area.

DAL, sent you a PM.

Tete, Mozambique $80.00 on arrival. They will never have change so bring twenties not $100.00. Takes about 10 minutes max.

Hunt Logic mine was three weeks ago and USD84. But I noticed doing my expenses the receipt didn't have an amount on it

Depending which flight I guess. I was one of the first and it was more than 10min. Pity those further back on the plane.

Cheers, Chris
