Hungary→Mozambique
A Hungarian citizen needs a visa to enter Mozambique for tourism and that visa must be obtained before departure. The permission is issued as a physical visa. The sources advise arranging the visa in good time because the online system can be unreliable and issuance on arrival can take disproportionately long.
You must travel on an ordinary passport. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry and contain at least two blank pages. A national identity card, a driving licence and a temporary passport are not accepted for entry on this route.
Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for entry; carry the yellow vaccination certificate (the yellow booklet). Travelers are advised to consult national public‑health authorities for other recommended vaccines.
Children under 18 travelling alone or with only one parent must have a parental/guardian authorization or a certified court decision granting exclusive custody. Those documents should be available in Portuguese and must receive diplomatic legalization because Mozambique is not party to the Apostille Convention; follow the legalisation steps before travel.
Travel insurance is recommended for a trouble‑free trip and you should consider cover that includes medical evacuation; insurance is not listed as a condition of entry for this route.
The visa application is made through the official Mozambican online portal (the portal is linked on this page) or via the Embassy of Mozambique in Berlin. The permission you receive is a physical visa. Mozambique keeps no embassy in Hungary; the nearest Mozambican consular office named in the guidance is in Luanda.
A Hungarian national identity card is not accepted for entry to Mozambique. You must travel on an ordinary passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry and has at least two blank pages.
You must carry the yellow fever vaccination certificate (the yellow booklet). Yellow fever vaccination is compulsory for entry on this route.
Travel insurance is recommended for a trouble‑free trip and you should consider cover that includes medical evacuation, as serious medical cases may require it. Insurance is not listed as a condition of entry.
You will not be asked to show proof of funds or bank statements on entry for this route; the guidance states no proof of funds is required.
If a child under 18 travels alone or with one parent, you must have a parental/guardian authorization or a certified court decision granting exclusive custody; these documents should be available in Portuguese and must receive diplomatic legalization because Mozambique is not party to the Apostille Convention.
A temporary passport is not accepted for entry. Only an ordinary passport that meets the validity and blank‑page requirements is listed as acceptable.
The official online visa portal handles visa applications and issue of the permission is a physical visa. The sources also name the Embassy of Mozambique in Berlin as a place to submit applications; the page links the official portal for online applications.
The nearest Mozambican consular representation that can assist is in Luanda (the Mozambican consular office there); Mozambique keeps no embassy in Hungary. The Embassy of Mozambique in Berlin is named for visa applications.
The official guidance warns the e‑visa website sometimes does not work and that visa issuance on arrival can take disproportionately long; it therefore recommends arranging the visa in good time before travel and coordinating with the embassy if you cannot use the portal.
Your passport must contain at least two blank pages in addition to being valid for at least six months beyond the date you enter Mozambique; expired passports, ID cards or other expired travel documents are not accepted.
Driver’s licences and birth certificates are not accepted as travel documents for entry. Bring your ordinary passport and the yellow fever certificate; other documents listed (temporary national ID, old‑format ID) are not acceptable on this route.
The sources say transit is not typical. If you need to transit, you should coordinate in advance with the Mozambican Embassy in Berlin about whether a visa is needed for your specific transit.
There is no arrival registration or entry card required for this route according to the guidance provided.
For child travel authorizations that require legalization and translation, diplomatic legalization must be initiated at the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and authenticated by the competent Mozambican embassy; ensure translations into Portuguese and the required legalisation steps are completed before travel.
