As far as I know you can NOT get a visa at the new bridge into Mozambique.
Safest way would be to get in Dar...

I was also told you cannot get a Moz visa crossing from Tanzania.
Unity Bridge at Negomane has been open since May, so the crossing itself is relatively painless. No Moz vehicle insurance is available at the border, but you can buy easily in Pemba.
Incidentally, when I called the Moz embassy in Dar, we were told the visa would take a week. The Moz consulate in Zanzibar however turned around the visa within 24 hours.

Yes
we were there in Jan 2009 and we got our visa on the border, we were using carnets and travelling on UK passports, if your close try it, what have you got to lose.
Of course everything is fluid in Africa so it may have changed, good luck

Has anyone had recent experience with getting a Moz visa at the border at the Unity bridge? The Moz embassy in Dar apparently needs 7 days for visa - again, has anyone got recent info on whether it can be obtained there quicker than the official 1 week?

Cannot be obtained at any of the borders with Tanzania yet.
Here is the process: Apply at embassy in Dar at GPS: S 6.813581, E 39.290747. Need 2 passport photos, yellow fever certificate. Single entry costs USD45, valid for entry within 3 months allowing up to 30 days stay.
Process takes 5 working days. The visa fee must be paid at the Samora Av branch of NBC bank at GPS: S 6.820327, E 39.285366 (account details must be obtained from Embassy first, but currently are:
Mozambique Embassy
P.O. Box 9370 – DSM
Account #: 0121050004290
NBC Bank
Samora Branch
Samora Avenue)
Take receipt from bank (one per person) back to embassy with application documents.
The passport needs to be left at the embassy for this period. If you are going to Zanzibar while waiting, take note, as the passport is needed for immigration there. The Moz embassy gave us a receipt stating they they were in possession of the passport together with a copy of the Tanzanian visa, and passport details page as proof for Zanzibar immigration. We didn't try to find out whether it sufficed, and bypassed immigration.
