- Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned entry date - Proof of onward or return ticket - Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter) - Sufficient funds for the length of stay (immigration officers may ask to see a bank statement or cash) - Yellow fever vaccination certificate if arriving from, or having transited through, a yellow-fever-endemic country - No visa, no biometrics, and no travel health insurance are required for the visa-free entry itself, though travel insurance is strongly recommended

What types of visas can China citizens get for Mozambique?

- No visa is required for the first 30 days (single or multiple short visits within that window) - Longer stays, work, or study require a regular Mozambican visa or residence permit obtained through SENAMI (Mozambique's immigration service) or the nearest Mozambican embassy before travel - An e-visa (via evisa.gov.mz) is also available if you prefer to pre-clear entry or need a stay beyond the visa-free period, typically issued for 30 days single entry

What are the entry conditions for China citizens visiting Mozambique?

- Up to 30 consecutive days per entry without a visa - No formal work authorization is granted under the visa-free arrangement; working requires a separate work visa - On arrival, show your passport, return/onward ticket, and accommodation details to the immigration officer - Extensions beyond 30 days must be requested at a SENAMI office in Mozambique (Maputo, Beira, or Nampula) before the initial period expires, or by applying for a visa in advance via evisa.gov.mz

How much does a Mozambique visa cost for China citizens?

- No fee for the visa-free 30-day entry - If you choose to apply in advance via the e-visa portal instead, the fee is approximately USD 50 for a single-entry 30-day visa, with online processing typically taking 3-5 business days - In-country extensions at SENAMI cost roughly USD 50-80 depending on the extension period requested - No VFS/BLS service fee applies since no visa is required for the standard visit

What should China citizens know before traveling to Mozambique?

- Carry printed copies of your return ticket and hotel booking, since immigration officers at Maputo International Airport sometimes ask for them even for visa-free entrants - Get your yellow fever certificate sorted before departure if you have transited through Kenya, Tanzania, or another endemic country on the way - If your trip may extend past 30 days, apply for the e-visa before departure rather than risk an in-country extension, which involves longer queues in Maputo - Register your stay with your hotel or a local contact, as Mozambican authorities periodically check visitor registration compliance
