🇲🇿 Mozambique visa requirements for Italian citizens

Entry rules for Italy passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Italy can travel to Mozambique for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 30 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 30-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Mozambique, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Mozambique immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The Italian passport ranks #4 worldwide, opening 165 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (126 visa-free, 31 with a visa on arrival and 8 with an eTA). Mozambique is one of them.

This is not reciprocal — traveling the other way, Mozambican citizens need to arrange entry to Italy in advance (visa required).

Across Eastern Africa as a whole, 14 of 16 destinations are open to Italian travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
