Most visitors to Tanzania need a visa. The easiest way to get one is the official Tanzania eVisa, applied for online before you travel through the Tanzania Immigration Services Department website.

What you usually need

• A passport valid for at least six months after your arrival, with blank pages
• A recent passport-style photo
• Your return flight details and travel itinerary
• Payment for the visa fee by card

Tips

• Apply well in advance — processing can take several working days.
• Only use the official government website to avoid unofficial agents.
• Visitors from some countries can get a visa on arrival, but rules change, so always check the latest information before you travel.
• Travellers arriving from countries with a risk of yellow fever transmission may need a vaccination certificate.

Entry requirements can change at short notice. Please confirm current requirements with the Tanzanian embassy in your country or the official immigration website. We are happy to share our booking confirmation and itinerary for your application.
