The Mozambique government has officially approved the addition of 28 countries to its visa exemption list, in what the tourism industry has touted as a significant move to boost inbound tourism to the nation.

The expansion of the visa waiver list is part of a package of economic stimulus measures announced by President Felipe Nyusi in August 2022, which has also included the rapid deployment of an eVisa system.

The exemption applies to visitors holding ordinary passports and allows for a 30-day stay, renewable to an additional 60 days.

The approved list includes the following countries:

Belgium; Canada; China; Denmark; Finland; France; Germany; Ghana; Indonesia; Israel; Italy; Ivory Coast; Japan; Netherlands; Norway; Portugal; Russia; Saudi Arabia; Senegal; Singapore; South Korea; Spain; Sweden; Switzerland; Ukraine; United Arab Emirates; United Kingdom; United States of America.
