A source linked to the tourism ministry contacted by MZNews said that the visa exemption for the 28 countries, approved by the Council of Ministers last Tuesday, will only take effect 30 days after its publication in the Boletim da República (BR).

See the news item of the 15th of this month with the headline "Mozambique announces visa exemption for 28 countries" to learn more about the topic.

"First it has to be published in the BR, which in principle should come out next week and will not have immediate effect," our source said.

The source also said that "this is an instrument that will introduce reforms, of course the government would be interested in having the effects as soon as possible, but there are mechanisms to be implemented before it is put into practice".
