Other things to note South African passport holders do not require a visa for Mozambique, however, other nationalities need to apply for visas. It is advisable to obtain visas before traveling to Mozambique as this can often prove difficult at the various points of entry including airports and border control posts. By applying in advance for your visa a 3 month multiple entry visa can be obtained, whilst at any border post only a month single entry visa will be issues, both currently costing around 80 USD.

Some strains of malaria found in Mozambique are resistant to Chloroquine. It is not recommended to scuba dive whilst taking Mefloquine also known as Larium.
