President Filipe Nyusi yesterday launched Mozambique’s new electronic entry visa issuing system – now live at evisa.gov.mz.
The new system, called eVISA, should “simplify the procedure of obtaining a visa”, the head of state said during the opening ceremony of the Coordinating Council of the Ministry of the Interior in Maputo.
The eVisa system is part of the package of measures announced by the government in August and designed to accelerate the economy, promoting “good practices for reducing bureaucracy” and contributing to the “improvement of the business environment”, the president noted.
In particular, the head of state hopes that the new visa system will “boost” the tourism sector.
The president called on the National Migration Service (Senami) to live up to its responsibilities and manage the new platform competently.
“Some [people] will [try to] complicate things, because this [eVISA] system cuts out corruption,” President Nyusi observed, but, properly rolled out, it would provide “quality services, flexible and always focused on solving and not creating difficulties”.
“May it be the brand that our country needed to change the course of its history in terms of attracting foreign investment, without neglecting security aspects,” he concluded.
The eVisa portal requires registration by the applicant, who enters his or her data and sends the necessary documentation for the type of visa required (tourist, business, humanitarian or other), and then awaits a response.
If approved, a provisional visa is issued, which is to be presented upon entry into Mozambique, at which time the respective payment is made and the effective visa issued.
