Visa for US citizens is $160. You may also call the Embassy's consular services and inquire Mon-Thur from 3:00 to 5:00pm EST. (202)-293-7147 ext 230 Ask them to email you Visa requirements information. I would copy and paste the info from that document, but it is actually an image, so there is no text to copy and paste.
I appreciate that all the official advice online is to get a visa before travel, but I have been to Moz several times (most recently in March 16) and each time got a VOA without any issue whatsoever; I'm a UK passport holder, and therefore have a local Moz embassy/have the same official advice on the fco website.

I would have zero concern about getting a VoA, if needed.
