When you’re planning to visit Tanzania, it’s important to know about getting a Tanzanian Visa. There are two main ways to do it: you can either get a Visa on Arrival or an e-Visa that you apply for before you arrive in Tanzania.
Multiple-entry visa
If you’re from the US or you plan to visit Tanzania more than once in a year, a multiple-entry visa is a good idea. It costs $100, and it lets you enter Tanzania many times within a year, staying up to three months each time. If you’re from another country, you have to explain why you need a multiple-entry visa, like if you’re going to Kenya or nearby countries as part of your trip. To get a multiple-entry visa, your passport should be good for at least six months from the day you enter Tanzania. You’ll also need a passport photo, proof of your return ticket to Tanzania, and maybe some other documents. Check with the Tanzanian embassy or consulate in your country for more details.
Special Requirements like Yellow Fever
Not everyone needs a yellow fever vaccination certificate to enter Tanzania. However, if you’ve been to a country with yellow fever (like Kenya) within 21 days before you arrive in Tanzania, you will need to show a vaccination certificate. There are also special rules for citizens of 28 countries in Central Asia and Africa. They need special permission from the Commissioner-General of Immigration to travel to Tanzania. You can find a full list on the Immigration Services Department’s e-visa portal.
