Summary
Mozambique’s investment visa supports a qualifying connection to an approved project worth at least USD $500,000; that is the project’s value, rather than a flat personal payment for residence. The applicant must document a qualifying connection to that project. The visa period depends on the category and decision actually granted.
Eligibility
The project must be approved and meet the value requirement. You must show that your role in it qualifies for the visa.
Prepare the project approval, evidence of your role, and the documents on the current official checklist. Check whether your actual duties also require separate work permission.
-

The visa is temporary, and the longest listed term is not guaranteed.
What This Route Allows
The visa allows multiple entries during the period granted. The official portal lists 90-, 180-, 365-, and 730-day options. You are not automatically entitled to the longest period.
What This Route Is Not
This is a temporary visa, not permanent residence or citizenship. It does not permit unrelated employment. Ask Mozambique's immigration service, SENAMI, whether you also need to complete residence-card formalities.
Next Steps
- Confirm the project's approval, value, and your qualifying role.
- Gather project, compliance, and personal documents from the current checklist.
- Apply for the appropriate visa and confirm any separate work or residence-card requirements.
