Do Mozambican citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Mozambican citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for any stay in Vietnam, and the e-visa is the usual route.
Mozambique's row on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exemption list (published June 30, 2025, checked October 2026) is marked under Diplomatic and under Official/Service/Special, with a 90-day stay. The Ordinary column is empty, and Mozambique is absent from the later 45-day lists.
That row comes from an agreement signed in 2008 that covers diplomatic and service passports only. For the general rules, see Do I need a visa for Vietnam?

Vietnam visa for Mozambican citizens: urgent cut-offs in Maputo time
Standard takes 5 to 7 working days. The urgent speeds use Vietnamese working days, which start at 8:00 in Vietnam, or 3:00 in Maputo.
| Order cut-off | Maputo time |
|---|---|
| Same day (Vietnam 14:15) | 9:15 |
| Super Urgent (Vietnam 15:30) | 10:30 |
| Emergency (Vietnam 17:30) | 12:30 |
| 1 working day (Vietnam 18:00) | 13:00 |
Example: you order on Tuesday at 4:00 in Maputo, which is 9:00 on Tuesday in Vietnam. Emergency arrives by 5:30, Super Urgent by 6:30 and Same day by 13:00, all in Maputo time. Ordered on Tuesday at 11:00 instead (16:00 in Vietnam), Emergency still arrives by 12:30, but Super Urgent and Same day have passed their cut-offs: Super Urgent arrives on Wednesday at 6:00 and Same day on Wednesday at 9:00.
The weekend window starts at Friday 13:00 in Maputo and ends on Sunday at 11:00. In that window, order the Weekend and public holidays speed before 10:20 and it arrives by 13:30 the same day. Our urgent e-visa page has every speed in Vietnam time.

Visa on arrival for Mozambican citizens
Mozambican citizens can use visa on arrival only when flying into Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang or Cam Ranh. You need an approval letter before you board and pay a $25 or $50 stamping fee at the airport.
It does not work for cruise ports or land borders. For most trips the e-visa is simpler; you can compare both when you choose a service.
Vietnam embassy in Mozambique
You do not need an embassy for an e-visa, which is issued online. Our page on the Vietnam embassy in Mozambique has its address and contacts if you need consular help.
Tips for Mozambican travelers
Two points help Mozambican travelers: news about the other direction, and the diplomatic row.
Mozambique's new e-visa is for Vietnamese visitors
Vietnamese media reported in 2025 that Mozambique now grants e-visas to Vietnamese travelers. That is Mozambique's rule for visitors from Vietnam. It changes nothing for a Mozambican going to Vietnam, who still applies for Vietnam's e-visa.
Diplomatic and service passports are different
The 90-day stay on Mozambique's row of the exemption list belongs to diplomatic and service passports only. A holder of an ordinary Mozambican passport needs the e-visa, even if a colleague on a government mission enters without one.
eVisaVietnam.com is a private visa service operated by TK VIET NAM., JSC, not the Vietnamese government. You can apply yourself at evisa.gov.vn for US$25. If you want your files checked and a delivery time backed by a full refund, apply for your e-visa with us.
