⚠️ Important Notes
Pakistani applicants should confirm the nearest operational Mozambique embassy as there is no resident Mozambique embassy in Pakistan. The embassy in South Africa or Kenya may handle Pakistani applications. Business visa fees and processing times are estimates and should be confirmed with the embassy. Ensure your invitation letter is detailed and on official company letterhead to avoid delays or rejection.
