Overview
The Embassy of the Republic of Mozambique in Rome represents Mozambican interests in Italy, a country with growing bilateral ties. Italy is home to a Mozambican diaspora and maintains development cooperation, trade, and cultural exchange programmes with Mozambique. Ambassador Santos Álvaro (since January 2023) leads the mission. The embassy's consular section shares the same address and handles visa applications for Italian citizens travelling to Mozambique for tourism (Indian Ocean diving, Bazaruto and Quirimbas archipelagos, Tofo Beach whale sharks, Gorongosa National Park, UNESCO-listed Ilha de Moçambique), business in energy, mining, and agriculture sectors, and academic exchange. Italy's historical interest in Mozambique includes development cooperation through the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) and engagement by Italian NGOs and missionary organisations active in health and education.
