Joint visa for 6 SADC countries

Tuesday, April 27th 2010

Mozambique is amongst the first group of six member states of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) who intend to introduce a single visa, allowing tourists to visit all of them on the same entry visa.

According to the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism, Fernanda Matsinha the single visa, known as Univisa, will in its pilot phase cover Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana and Swaziland.

It is to be introduced by June, so that tourists visiting South Africa for the World Cup will be able to take advantage of it. Univisa is aimed at tourists from Europe and USA, giving them much greater flexibility in dates of entry and departure to & from each of the countries involved in the scheme.
