Despite the fact that I met all of the requirements for a business visa, the embassy denied my application. What is embarrassing is that the embassy responds through the guard, and the consular service does not provide adequate services to visa applicants. I applied for a business visa in order to travel to Maputo for work purposes. However, the embassy is extremely hesitant to process my application. The embassy required purposefully exaggerated documentation, and we were unable to carry out our organizational mission in the country. What does the Mozambique consular based in Addis Ababa do? The overall service is really embarrassing!
