Visas and Arriving in Pemba

All international visitors require a tourist visa for entry into Mozambique, except for South African citizens who need just 2 clean pages in their passport for re-entry into South Africa. For those who need a visa, you may get this upon your first entry point into Mozambique. Fees include: your visa $66 and a stamp duty $3.

Most people simply get their visa on arrival at Pemba Airport without any problem.

Airport Tax
Airport taxes should be included in the cost of your plane ticket to Pemba. If you are travelling via Dar Es Salaam or Nairobi and would like to leave the airport transit and tourist visas are available to purchase at the airport, paid in USD. We always advise guests to carry small denominations as change at immigration is always hard to come by!
