Cash, cards and currency exchange

・It is recommended to obtain US dollars in Japan beforehand and exchange them for metical at the local airport. At that time, it is better to prepare small denomination US dollar bills.
・If you have leftover metical after your trip, the exchange rate for converting it back is very unfavorable, so it is best to exchange only as much as you think you will need.
・Credit cards are also accepted. They can be used at most hotels and shopping malls, but often cannot be used at small shops. US dollars and South African rand are also in circulation, so be sure to prepare cash.

Tips

・It is customary to give tips.
・Restaurants: Small change from your bill, or about 5–10 metical per person
・Hotel porters: About 10–20 metical per service

Public order

・Safety in Mozambique cannot be considered good. Rapid economic growth has widened the gap between rich and poor, leading to frequent incidents of robbery, kidnapping, sexual assault, burglary, car break-ins, and other crimes.
・To avoid becoming a victim of crime, refrain from entering dangerous areas, do not go out alone at night, and avoid flashy clothing or expensive accessories that may make you a target.

clothing

・During the day, light summer clothing or a single long-sleeved shirt to prevent insect bites is usually sufficient. However, it gets chilly in the mornings and evenings, so a warm jacket is essential. During the rainy season, it is also convenient to have rain gear such as a raincoat.

Things you should bring

・Stomach medicine, cold medicine, mobile battery, insect repellent items, sun protection items, etc.

Visa availability and arrangements

・Japanese nationals do not need to obtain a visa for short-term stays of up to 30 days for business or tourism. Multiple entries and exits are allowed during the permitted stay period.
・If you have a valid reason, you can extend your stay beyond 30 days. To apply for an extension, please contact the local immigration office or apply through their website.

Required vaccinations

・There are no mandatory requirements for travel. However, the following vaccinations are recommended.
・Adults: Tetanus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rabies, measles, typhoid
・Children: Japan's routine vaccinations [BCG, DPT, polio, measles, rubella, chickenpox, Haemophilus influenzae type b], Japan's optional vaccinations [seasonal influenza, mumps, rotavirus, etc.], hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rabies, typhoid
