Does anyone have any experience with international-international transfers at MPM? I will be flying in from JNB on a LAM flight, and then out to DOH on the QR flight. I'm assuming that I won't be able to interline my bags, but will I have to clear immigration to collect them?
Assuming I have to clear immigration, does Mozambique have a transit visa, or am I required to get a full visitor visa (I've found conflicting information online)?
I flew out of MPM in mid-September (to DOH
)
I did not transit there (I stayed a week in Maputo) but I did fly in (on SA from JNB)
Baggage collection is immediately after immigration, so you will need to enter the country
I do not know about transit visas, but there is a "Border Visa" desk immediately before Immigration
For those of you travelling with only hand baggage, on departure I did see a "Transfer Check In" area where transfer passengers could go through security to get into the departure area
The airport is small, very new, clean, easy to get around....
