Team Paperwork Week Closing Ceremonies Continued: Visas

Greetings Builders,

Often, the conclusion of Great Festivity is marked by some traditional reckless act on the part of participants, a symbol of finality and closure. Smashing champaigne glasses in fires and throwing graduation caps into the air come to mind.

And so it is with Team Paperwork Week. In an act of seemingly extravagant recklessness most members of the team will be hurling one of their most prized possessions--their passports--into the mail to the Mozambique Embassy in Washington, D.C. in order to receive the visas necessary to enter Mozambique.

(In an act of lesser recklessness, those of us in Lisbon will be taking the Metro up to the Embaixada da Republica de Moçambique, 7 Avenida Berna.)

The only thing remaining to be determined is whether we'll be entering Mozambique just once, in which case the single-entry visa is $20, or whether we'll be entering once again after visiting Kruger Park, in which case the multipe-entry visa is $40, a money order for which you must include with your other visa requirements:

Visa Requirements

*
Citizens and permanent residents of all states require a visa; copies of green cards are required for non-US citizens except canadians.

*
All visas must be obtained at the Embassy of the Republic of Mozambique.

*
Applicants must submit the original passport that should be valid at least 6 months from date of submission and have at least 1 blank page for visa stamp (amendment pages are not acceptable).

*
Applicants must fill out the application form.

*
Applicants must submit 1 passport-sized photograph or 2 photos for first-time applicants.

*
Applicants must include a self-addressed and stamped envelope preferably registered or pre-paid air bill if processed visas are to be returned by mail or courier.
*

Both Canadian citizens and citizens of the United States applying for visas will have to mail all their requirements to Mozambican Embassy in Washington DC at 1990 M Street NW, Suite 570, Washington, DC 20036.

Thank you for your attention to detail.
