Tanzania visa requirements

The Tanzania eVisa is an online visa officially issued by the government for foreign travelers who plan to visit Tanzania for a limited period.

The ordinary visa to Tanzania enables a 90-day stay in the country within a 3-month validity period and only one visit, as it's a single-entry permit.

It can be used for tourism, family/friend visits, conferences, and more.

Important Update

Besides a visa, all persons entering Tanzania must complete the Tanzania Health Surveillance Form, a mandatory online health declaration. In response to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Tanzanian Ministry of Health extended this requirement to all travelers, regardless of their nationality or country of departure.

General Tanzania visa requirements are:

Based on official government sources

  • Copy of the applicant's valid passport (biographic data page)
  • Completed declaration form
  • Return ticket for the flight

Tanzania visa FAQs

What travellers commonly ask about Tanzania visas.

Still have questions?Our visa experts are available 24/7 by chat and email.
Do I need a Tanzania eVisa?

You can easily access this information by selecting your nationality in our eligibility checker available at the top of the website.

Do I need an eVisa to transit through Tanzania?

Transit eVisa is necessary for travelers from non-visa-free countries who plan to leave the transit zone. The visa cannot be used for purposes other than transit.

I’m traveling to Tanzania by land – what do I need to provide?

If you are entering Tanzania by bus or car, you do not need to provide a flight ticket. Instead, you may submit one of the following: a vehicle rental confirmation, a bus ticket, a booking confirmation from a travel agency, or a signed statement describing your travel plans (including the planned date of border crossing, port of entry, and means of transport).

How long does it take to process a Tanzania eVisa?

Usually, the process of the Tanzanian eVisa takes around 10 working days, but it can be longer. The final time of approval depends on the Immigration Office, as the Tanzanian authorities typically process applications based on the departure date rather than the submission date.

My flight is in 2 days, and I don’t have a visa – what should I do?

We would strongly advise against applying through the electronic visa system, as there will not be enough time to process your application. Instead, you should obtain a visa on arrival directly at the Tanzanian border. To receive a visa on arrival, you will need a valid passport eligible for the service (see the full list of nationalities here) and approximately 50 USD in cash for the visa fee.

Is the Tanzania eVisa valid for 90 days from the date of issue or from the date of entry?

The visa is valid for 3 months from the approval date. You may enter Tanzania at any time within this period. Once you enter the country, you may stay in Tanzania for up to 90 days, or less depending on the visa’s expiration date.

How can I check the status of my application?

To check the status of your application, you need a Passporta account. Please use this link to log in to your existing profile or create a new one.

How will I receive my eVisa after approval?

Once approved, your eVisa will be sent directly to the email address provided in the application form.

My application status shows "Finished" – where is my eVisa?

Once your application status shows "Finished", the eVisa will be sent to your email address as a PDF attachment. Please check your inbox. Remember to check your SPAM or junk folder as well.

What should I do if my eVisa has been rejected?

Unfortunately, the Immigration Office has determined that you do not meet the requirements for the Tanzanian eVisa. In this case, you should contact the nearest embassy or consulate of Tanzania to apply for a traditional visa.
