THE drastic price increase
for a three-month
multiple-entry visa
for business travellers for
Mozambique has taken the
trade by surprise.
The increase came into
effect on January 22.
However, visa experts
confirm that it is justified and
still in line with what African
countries in general charge.
Liam Flett, director of Simply
Visa, says while R765 to
R2 500 is a substantial
increase, this is the first
time the price of this visa
has gone up in many years.
Furthermore, the new price
is comparable to that of
other African countries. For
example, the DRC charges
R2 625 for a three-month
multiple-entry visa, while
Guinea charges R2 750 and
Ghana charges R2 050 for
a six-month multiple entry
visa. “It is also important
to keep in mind that most
African multiple-entry visas
are more expensive than
most European and American
ones,” Liam says.
Jose Cruz, national
executive client services
manager of HRG Rennies
Travel, thinks some
corporates may disagree with
it although there is nothing
they will be able to do.
“Perhaps the question to be
asked is why South African
business travellers did not
need a business visa for
Mozambique in the past, but
now they do.
