The six countries whose nationals cannot apply through the Mozambique eVisa portal are:
1. Pakistan.
2. Bangladesh.

What affected travellers must do

Where Mozambique cigars are made
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that in Mozambique, cigars are completely made in Africa.
Inside a small neon-lit factory in Maputo, about a dozen workers quietly hand-roll premium cigars destined for international markets.
Despite the strong smell of tobacco filling the room, the men and women remain focused on their work, seated side by side at simple wooden benches.
