Moz clamps down on business visas

MOZAMBICAN
authorities have
clamped down on
business visa requirements,
which SA passport holders
require when entering the
country to do business in
Mozambique.
A representative of LAM
told TNW the government
was now strictly enforcing the
pre-application of business
visas. Business travellers
are required to obtain a visa
before departing South Africa.
Michèle Abraham,
Anantara’s marketing
communications manager
for SA, told TNW that the law
was not new. “We believe
authorities are tightening
the regulation due to a high
volume of travellers entering
Mozambique via Maputo
airport or the SA-Mozambique
borders with no valid reason
for entry or sufficient
documentation to prove their
purpose of travel.
South African passport
holders do not require
a visa when travelling to
Mozambique for leisure travel
for up to 30 days.
