Work Permits in Mozambique
Quota, out-of-quota or short-term — we identify the correct route and assemble a file that does not come back for corrections.
Quota mechanics
Employers may engage foreign nationals up to a percentage of total employees, scaled by company size. Communication to the labour authorities is required within prescribed periods, and hires beyond quota need specific authorisation supported by evidence that local skills are unavailable.
Documents decide the timeline
Degrees, professional registrations and police clearances must be apostilled or consularised and sworn-translated. Clients who start this early are approved first.
Frequently asked questions
Who applies, employer or employee?
The employer carries the legal obligation. The employee supplies personal documents and, in most cases, attends for biometrics.
Can a permit be transferred to a new employer?
No. Authorisation is tied to the employer and role, so a new employer must make a fresh application.
