Mozambique Accompanying Spouse/Dependants Visa

Your spouse or life partner can join you in Mozambique on an accompanying spouse or dependents visa. You and your spouse or partner can apply for your visas at the same time.

Note: Mozambique recognises life partnerships for immigration purposes but not same-sex marriages.

Life partnerships can be proved by shared accommodation and living expenses.

You can contact IBN Immigration Solutions for more information on how accompanying spouse and dependents visas work. Going forward, we’ll assign a specialist in Mozambican accompanying spouse and dependents visa to oversee your case.

There are two types of visa requirements: General and visa-specific.
General requirements and forms apply to all visas in Mozambique, regardless of purpose.
Visa-specific requirements and forms apply only to the particular visa you’re applying for.

General forms and documentation required include the following:

• A properly completed and signed Mozambique visa or permit application form
• A valid passport with a minimum of six months validity remaining
• Three blank pages in your passport
• Two current passport photos
• Proof of paid fees

Requirements specific to Mozambican Family and partner visas include the following:

• A copy of your residence or work permit
• A police clearance certificate
• A confirmation letter from your employer in Mozambique stating that you are employed at their company
• Term of responsibility for your (the primary visa holder) family members
• Marriage or life partner certificate
• A letter from the school where your children will study in Mozambique confirming enrollment
• Declaration of responsibility from your spouse or dependent
• Spouse’s or dependent’s work contract

It’s important to have an immigration specialist on your side at this point because costs vary. For example, you might bring your life partner and three children, or you could bring your parents only. The fees for each are very different.

You’ll also need a tourist visa that enables you to stay in Mozambique for up to 90 days while you apply for the spouse or dependents visa in the country. Those types of expenses need to be factored into your cost analysis.

Your Mozambique accompanying spouse and dependents visa consultant will explain all associated costs that apply to your visa applications. You’ll get a breakdown of the fees and expenses you can expect during the application process.

• You and your immigration consultant have come a long way together; now it’s time complete the process.

• Travel to Mozambique on your tourist visa and then go to a Mozambican immigration office with your application pack. You want to apply for an extension of the tourist visa.
• Submit the applications and wait for a decision about extending the tourist visa into a Mozambique spouse or dependents visa.
• Once you get your extension, you can talk to your immigration consultant about your options if you want to emigrate to Mozambique.
