Planning your adventure to Tanzania? Whether you’re climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, exploring the Serengeti, or enjoying the white sands of Zanzibar, getting your visa is an essential first step. Don’t worry—it’s straightforward, and we’re here to guide you through the process.
Before applying, it’s important to know the type of visa you need:
For most travelers, the Tourist Visa is the one to go for.
You can apply for your Tanzania visa in two ways:
1. Online (e-Visa): The most convenient option, available at Tanzania Immigration’s official website.
2. At the Border: For certain nationalities, visas can be obtained upon arrival at airports or border crossings.
We recommend applying online to save time and avoid last-minute stress.
Follow these simple steps to apply for your e-Visa:
1. Visit the Official Website
Go to Tanzania Immigration’s e-Visa portal.
2. Fill Out the Application Form
Provide personal details like your name, passport information, and travel dates.
Mention your purpose of travel (e.g., tourism).
3. Upload Required Documents
A scanned copy of your passport (valid for at least six months).
A recent passport-size photo.
Your return flight ticket or itinerary.
4. Pay the Visa Fee
Tourist Visa: $50 for most countries.
US Citizens: $100 (for a multiple-entry visa).
Payment can be made securely online using a credit or debit card.
5.Wait for Approval
Once submitted, you’ll receive an email confirmation. Processing usually takes 2–10 business days, so apply early!
After approval, download your e-Visa and print a copy to carry with you.
When you arrive in Tanzania, immigration officers will ask for:
Your passport with the printed e-Visa.
Your travel itinerary and return ticket.
Proof of accommodation (e.g., hotel bookings).
Once cleared, you’ll be ready to start your Tanzanian adventure!
Check Your Country’s Requirements: Some nationalities don’t need a visa; others require extra steps.
Double-Check Your Documents: Ensure your passport is valid for six months after your travel dates.
