Visas

We inform you that starting from 15 January 2024 the submission of requests for entry visas for Italy and for the legalization of documents will be managed on behalf of this Embassy by the VFS Global company based in Maputo on the 6th floor of the Maputo Shopping Centre (rua Ngungunhane). VFS will, in particular, be responsible for receiving visa applications, collecting consular fees and returning passports to users once the Embassy has assessed the relevant procedures.

VFS Global will also provide an information and assistance service at the telephone number on the following page or at the email address info.italymoz@vfsglobal.com.

In order to improve the service for all users, we therefore inform you that this Embassy will no longer accept visa applications at its counters, limiting itself to honouring the appointments already made during these first days of service transition. starting from January 17th, it will no longer be possible to make an appointment for visa requests on the Prenot@mi, except for family members of EU citizens (directive 2004/38/EC): from that date, appointments made for these purposes will therefore be cancelled or in any case disregarded.

On the day of the appointment, the physical presence of the applicant is required for the collection of biometric data (fingerprints). Exceptions are made for children under the age of twelve and those with special needs.
