Policy on permits required——to enter Mozambique
map Africa portal

Mozambique allows most countries that are not visa exempt——to obtain a visa on arrival. However, "nationals of certain countries must obtain a visa online." Or from one of the Mozambican diplomatic missions around the world before being allowed into the "country."

Mozambique is: part of the Southern African Development Community, meaning that members of most other SADC countries do not require a tourist visa if visiting Mozambique for tourism purposes.
