Hi All,

Me and the wife are heading up to ponta this week. I am going with my new tjorrie, but dont have plates yet. I do have the temporary registration that is still valid for the duration that we will be in mozam. Would I be able to cross the border with said registration or is number plates mandatory?
 
By next week you'll be the one to tell us how it is.

In the meantime, I suppose your insurance company would know?
 
Insightful reading here:
From the article, for Mozambique specific:

The Carnet de Passage is not required for Mozambique.

Required Documentation:

Valid passport of the driver

Certified copy of vehicle registration papers in the name of the driver

Letter of authority from the registered owner if the vehicle is not owned by the driver

vehicle is still being financed, carry a letter of authority from the bank (must include dates of travel) together with the vehicle license papers.

Valid driver’s license

Temporary Import Permit for vehicle: Compulsory

Third-Party Insurance: Compulsory

Red Warning Triangles: 2 triangles required (does not need to be displayed on car)

Reflective Jacket: If more than two people are travelling in the car, then two jackets will be required (to be used when changing a tyre, at an accident scene, or if loading)

Immigration Fees

Declaration Form for Vehicle

Yellow and Blue Mozambique Warning Triangle: Two stickers required if towing a trailer; one in the front of the vehicle (on the bumper) and one on the rear of the trailer

ZA Sticker

International Driving Permit: Recommended

Did they make you get plates before crossing, I just bought a new car but no plates, and leaving next week.

Any advice?

Are you going to Mozambique? Now?
 
Are you sure? I wouldn't want to be on the other side at these times
Been in contact with the family in that area and the resort no issues, even at kosi. It is a 50/50 scenario 🤷‍♀️

I also have family who stays in Moz, but they with us now for the holiday's, my male cousins are returning soon, but their families are staying behind till things cool over completely, the whole place is on tenterhooks, not somewhere I would go on holiday.
