Tanzania visa policy & requirements

Most travelers need a visa to enter Tanzania, but getting one is easier than you'd think. The majority of nationalities can apply for an eVisa entirely online before departure. The standard Single-entry eVisa covers stays of up to 90 days, while US passport holders are required to apply for a Multiple-entry Visa, valid for one year.

Citizens of around 60 countries, including Botswana, Brunei, Cyprus, and most Caribbean Commonwealth nations, are exempt from the visa requirement entirely and can enter without any prior authorization. It is also important to note that the Tanzania eVisa covers Zanzibar.

Common questions

Not at every single one. The eVisa is accepted at designated airports and not all entry points process electronic visas. Major international airports including Kilimanjaro, Julius Nyerere in Dar es Salaam, and Zanzibar are all covered, and some land border points accept eVisas too. Always check your approval notice for the specific entry points listed.

Yes, it's possible, but we wouldn't recommend relying on it. The visa on arrival is available at major entry points including international airports, land borders, and seaports, but it can involve long queues and uncertainty. Applying for the eVisa for Tanzania with ImmiAssist in advance is always the smoother and error-free option.

Yes. Zanzibar is part of the United Republic of Tanzania, so your mainland Tanzania visa automatically covers the island, no separate application needed. Whether you fly directly to Zanzibar or arrive by ferry from Dar es Salaam, the same visa applies.

It depends on the visa type. The single-entry eVisa allows one entry only. If you're planning to leave and re-enter Tanzania during your trip, you'll need the multiple-entry eVisa.

The official processing time is 2-10 business days, and it's strongly recommended to apply at least 3-4 weeks before your trip to avoid any last-minute stress. The earlier the better.

Yes. Extensions must be processed in person at the Tanzania Immigration Department, and are not guaranteed. You'll need to apply before your current visa expires, and can be extended for up to three months at a time, with a maximum total stay of six months.

Yes, children need their own visa even when traveling with parents. The requirements are the same as for adults, and each child must have a separate application to avoid delays at immigration.

Immigration officers may request proof of a return or onward travel ticket during the entry process. It's always a good idea to have it ready, even if it's not always checked.
