What this page helps you decide
A transit itinerary can involve an airport transfer, a change of terminal, a long stop or an overnight stay. The correct route depends on the exact movement through Mozambique.
Check whether you will pass immigration, collect baggage or leave the airport transit area. A transit assumption can be wrong when the itinerary changes.
Prepare the right evidence
Keep the full itinerary, onward boarding details, passport, destination visa where relevant and any accommodation information for an overnight stop.
Keep the purpose accurate
Transit is not the same as tourism. If you will visit Mozambique, stay overnight outside transit or conduct business, review another purpose route.

That decision should come before payment. Reading the route conditions first also makes it easier to spot a missing document while there is still time to replace it.
