2. Gather and scan your documents; book your appointment at e-Visa portal (preferred for Nepalis) OR Embassy of Mozambique New Delhi (sticker visa) or start the online form.
3. Prepare proof of onward travel and accommodation — many applicants use Yatra's verifiable reservations rather than buying non-refundable bookings before approval.
4. Pay the visa fee, submit (and give biometrics if required), then track your application.
