Voyage de retour en Suisse
Le coronavirus est une pandémie au niveau mondial. Pour cette raison, le Conseil Fédéral conseille de renoncer aux voyages à l’étranger qui n’ont pas un caractère urgent, et ceci jusqu’à nouvel avis et appelle, respectivement recommande aux touristes suisses à rentrer en Suisse. Plus le temps passe et plus il devient difficile d’organiser un retour en Suisse car de nombreuses restrictions de voyage sont chaque jour éditées par les pays concernés, ce qui a pour effet une réduction non négligeable des vols organisés par les compagnies aériennes. Les décisions prises varient d’un pays à l’autre et changent fréquemment.
The Migration Office communicated the following to the Swiss Embassy:
Tourists and short term resident must avoid being in an illegal status in Mozambique.
Before the expiry of the visa, it is possible to send a written request for a visa extension, stating the reasons (COVID-19, cancellation of flights…), relevant information e.g. visa number, date and port of entry, passport copy must be attached, as well as quarantine medical documentation, if received when entering Mozambique.
Each request will be examined individually.
The Embassy in Maputo can assist you in transmitting the documents, if necessary.
