IELTS fees in Mozambique
The British Council's booking system showed IELTS Academic on computer in Maputo at MZN 25,200, with Saturday sessions on 17, 24 and 31 October and 7 November 2026. Its Portuguese booking page lists the same fee for computer and paper, and the ielts.org centre finder shows MZN 25,200 for Academic and General Training on computer. IDP does not run IELTS in Mozambique.
IELTS for UKVI is unclear. The British Council's UKVI page still lists IELTS for UKVI on computer in Maputo at MZN 26,800, but its booking page says it no longer offers UKVI tests in Mozambique, and the booking system had no UKVI sessions on 14 October 2026. For a UK visa, compare South Africa and Malawi.
| Test | Fee (British Council) | Status on 14 Oct 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| IELTS Academic or General Training on computer | MZN 25,200 | Weekly sessions in Maputo |
| IELTS on paper | MZN 25,200 (booking page) | No paper sessions in the booking system |
| IELTS for UKVI on computer | MZN 26,800 (UKVI page) | No sessions; booking page says no longer offered |
How to pay and book
The British Council's booking page asks for a passport or national identity card (bilhete de identidade), uploaded when you book; under-18s need written consent from a parent or guardian. You pay by bank deposit or transfer to its Standard Bank account, quoting the 15-digit reference starting with MZ that the online form gives you.
Payment must arrive within five days of registering, and the proof of payment and a copy of your ID must reach the British Council within five working days or the booking is cancelled. A bank deposit made on the fourth or fifth day may not secure your preferred date, so pay early. Your Speaking test can fall on the same day or within seven days either side.

Cancellation and refunds
The British Council did not publish a separate Mozambique cancellation page that we could read. Its standard IELTS policy, published on its Senegal and Sierra Leone sites, gives 75% back if you cancel 15 or more days before the test and nothing within 14 days; confirm with the centre before you pay. Illness, bereavement and other exceptional circumstances can be raised with the test centre before the test or up to two calendar days after it, never once results are out. The centre replies within seven working days, and refunds can take 4 to 6 weeks.
