Aevamo’s reading
Lei 23/2022 creates the obligation: article 8(2) requires every foreign citizen to present an entry visa issued by Mozambican authorities unless a visa-waiver agreement applies, and article 28 creates the border-visa (visa-on-arrival) route. Decreto 10/2023 and the evisa portal are the exemption instrument and the current operational statement of that framework, not the source of the general requirement.
Article 28 of Law 23/2022 creates the border visa, issued at border crossing posts to foreign citizens coming from a country where Mozambique has no diplomatic or consular representation, allowing a stay of up to 30 days. The residual issuers are not on any visa-exemption or ETA list, are not among the portal's embassy-application countries, and none hosts a resident Mozambican mission - the five residual issuers that do (Brazil, Cuba, Algeria, Egypt, Vietnam) are answered on the evisa-no-voa row - so the border-visa route applies to them.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
