Drop "for", it's incorrect there. We wouldn't say "wait for longer than/more than ___ minutes". It would be either "for" or "longer than/more than", but not both together.
"We'll have to wait longer than 30 minutes" is correct.
"more than" can be used in certain instances, but "longer" is the better choice here. They're not exactly the same.
