IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? The High Commission of Mozambique in South Africa has significantly increased visa application fees and has abolished fee distinctions based on nationality.
What does the change mean? Visa applicants should be prepared for the higher fees regardless of their nationality. The change appears to be limited only to visa applicants in South Africa and not in other countries.
Additional information: The new visa fees range from 750 South African rand (about US$62) to 5,000 rand (about US$419), depending on the category. The new fees differentiate between those visiting Mozambique for tourist purposes and those visiting for business purposes, creating a clear distinction between the two visa categories that was not previously in place.
BAL Analysis: The new fees are significantly higher than they were before and will apply to all applicants in South Africa, regardless of nationality. The increases appear limited to applications lodged in South Africa and there is no indication that fees will increase at other Mozambican embassies and consulates around the world.
