The President of the Association of European Entrepreneurs in Mozambique (EUROCAM), Simone Santi, is calling for an exemption from entry visas for citizens of some European countries with business interests in the country.

The request was made last Friday in Maputo, during a business debate aimed at assessing the implementation of the Package of Economic Acceleration Measures announced last July by the President of the Republic, Filipe Nyusi.

"In the list of countries that will have visa exemptions, we have asked to include several European countries with business interests. We hope that mainly countries with diplomatic representation in Mozambique will be included," said Santi, quoted by AIM, adding that "there are several countries with strong interests in investing in the country, and we are ready to invite more countries."

The Head of State, Filipe Nyusi, said in one of his speeches last September that the government will soon announce the list of countries that will benefit from visa exemptions.

"The list should include European countries. European entrepreneurs in Mozambique have investment interests of around 60 million euros," said Santi.
