On 4 December 2025, the Swedish Government decided to phase out the bilateral development cooperation with five countries, including Mozambique, by 31 August 2026. The decision is not linked to any event in Mozambique but motivated by the new significant security policy challenges in Sweden's immediate neighbourhood. It is also shaped by the Swedish Government's new strategic direction for aid, which includes a reduction in the total number of bilateral cooperation strategies.
NEWSSweden has a long history of development cooperation with Mozambique.

Please contact the Mozambican Embassy nearest you to get information on how to apply for a visa to visit Mozambique.
As a Swedish citizen to get married in Mozambique with a Mozambican citizen, one needs to get a marriage license and a birth certificate in English. This can be obtained from the Swedish Tax Agency upon request. These documents then have to be legalized by the Swedish Embassy in Maputo or the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, translated into Portuguese by an authorized translator in Mozambique and authorized by Mozambican authorities. We suggest that you contact the Conservatoria do Registro Civil for further assistance regarding the matrimony.
