INICC Film Permit Requirements

PERMITS: INICC – The Mozambican Film Commission

At Niigma Films MZ, we facilitate the acquisition of all necessary permits for filming in Mozambique through the Mozambican Film Commission, known as INICC (Instituto Nacional das Indústrias Culturais e Criativas), previously INAC. INICC mandates that international producers collaborate with a local production company or producer to obtain these permits.

Turn-Around Time

Obtaining permits from INICC typically takes us around 2-3 business days, ensuring a smooth and efficient process for your production needs.
