The Mozambique eVisa / eTA Photo size is 413 x 531 pixels for online upload. Not published; white is our rendering choice for the reference frame; head 70 to 80 percent of the photo height. Photo taken within the last 6 months. Last verified 2026-10-10 against Serviço Nacional de Migração (Mozambique National Immigration Service) - official eVisa & eTA portal, 'Tourist Visa' requirements, with the ICAO Doc 9303 Part 3 reference frame.
For the 'Frontal Photo - A recent, passport-style photo' every applicant uploads on the official Mozambique eVisa & eTA portal evisa.gov.mz (National Immigration Service) - tourist, business, investment, sports and culture, crew, humanitarian and oil-and-gas categories - as a scanned JPEG, PDF or PNG. The portal publishes no size, background or head rule, so the frame and head band here are the ICAO reference. Not for a Mozambican passport, which takes one printed 'fotografia tipo passe' (separate page here).

What trips people up
- CheckTwo documents are mandatory for every category: 'Passport - Color copy of the passport bio page (valid more than 6 months)' and 'Frontal Photo - A recent, passport-style photo'; tourists add proof of funds, accommodation and 'Return confirmed Tickets'. No size, pixel count or background is published - our 413 x 531 px on white is the ICAO reference.
- CheckFile rule: 'All submitted documents must be scanned, clear, legible and in one of supported formats : JPEG, PDF or PNG.' - a clear phone photo exported as JPEG satisfies the format list; keep it sharp and unfiltered.
- CheckTiming: 'We advise applying for your eVisa 3 to 5 days before your trip to allow sufficient time for processing and potential rectification.'; 'The validity period of your eVisa is 2 months' from issue, and the tourist visa allows 30, 60 or 90 days, multiple entry, set by your itinerary.
- CheckMinors under 18 add the ID of the person with parental authority and that person's statement of responsibility.
- CheckVisa-exempt and eTA nationalities are listed on the home page by passport type and purpose; only applicants who meet none of the exemption criteria file a full eVisa, and the fee differs accordingly. Print the preliminary approval PDF for boarding and arrival.
