Why applications on this route get refused
Employment contract not authorised by the Ministry of Labour
The embassy's procedure requires the employment contract to be authorised by Mozambique's Ministry of Labour and Social Security (or an equivalent Ministry letter), a contract without that authorisation doesn't meet the requirement.
How to avoid it: Have your employer get the contract authorised by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, or obtain the Ministry's recruitment letter, before applying.
