Tanzania visa requirements
Whether you need a visa for Tanzania depends on your nationality and the purpose of your trip. iVisa offers two Tanzania travel documents: the Tanzania Tourist eVisa, for tourism, visiting family and friends, business, or transit, and the Tanzania Business eVisa, for travelers entering to carry out short-term professional assignments. Both are electronic visas linked to your passport, so there's no embassy visit or passport label required.
Start your application and iVisa will confirm exactly which Tanzania travel document you need based on your nationality and trip, then prepare, review, and file it for you.
General Tanzania visa requirements are:
Requirements verified against official government sources
- Valid passport (valid for at least 6 months from your date of arrival)
- A recent passport-style photograph
- Return or onward flight ticket details

I had read stories from people who had waited months for a Visa and from people who had never heard back, I received mine the next day.
Very straight forward application, fast service good communication! A little more money but worth it!
Once the application was submitted the process went quite smoothly. What wasn't so good was the tight parameters around providing satisfactory ID. Files could only be a certain type, size, age, type of picture, etc making it difficult to comply.
Very impressed with the ease, communication and speed of this process. Unexpected and much appreciated.
First time I needed a Visa. Process was pretty simple and straight forward. Customer service was very helpful.
The application process was easy and visa granted in a timely fashion. If there was 1 draw back it would be the price (on the high side).
Ivisa was implementable in helping my boyfriend and I get our visa applications approved for our African Safari to Kenya and Tanzania. They reviewed all of our information and documents to make sure everything was correct before sending it through for approval. I highly recommend them.
All ivisa staff were very helpful and responsive and ensured I did the firms correctly, very fast and on top of everything re the visa approval! Would definitely recommend them to help you navigate the visa requirements!
i tried to get a visa to Tanzania a few times with no success until i found you. thanks for quick an efficient service.
Easy to use interface, updates on progress, and speed of obtaining desired visa. Really great!
Tanzania visa FAQs
What travelers commonly ask about Tanzania visas.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
What is the difference between a Tanzania Tourist (Ordinary) Visa and a Business Visa?
An Ordinary Visa is strictly for leisure, holidays, and visiting family. If you're entering to perform short-term professional tasks—such as auditing accounts, repairing machines, or conducting short-term training—you legally must obtain a Business Visa. Performing professional work on a tourist visa violates immigration laws.
Is the Tanzania eVisa valid for Zanzibar?
Yes. The Tanzania eVisa covers both Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. However, travelers visiting Zanzibar must now pay for mandatory travel insurance for 92 days' cover, via the official Zanzibar portal. This is a separate requirement from the visa.
Which ports of entry accept the Tanzania eVisa?
The Tanzania eVisa is only valid for entry at designated ports: Air: Julius Nyerere (DAR), Kilimanjaro (JRO), Abeid Amani Karume (ZNZ), and Mwanza (MWZ). Land: Namanga, Sirari, Horohoro, Mutukula, Rusumo, Tunduma, and Kasumulu. Sea: Dar es Salaam Port and Zanzibar Port. Entry through remote border stations may require a physical visa obtained at an embassy.
Do I need a yellow fever certificate for a Tanzania visa?
If you are arriving from or have transited (for more than 12 hours) through a country with a risk of yellow fever (e.g., Kenya, Ethiopia, or Uganda), you must present an International Certificate of Vaccination upon arrival.
Do children/minors need their own Tanzania eVisa?
Yes. Every traveler, including infants, must have an individual eVisa. Parents can manage these applications easily through iVisa using the "Add another person" feature.
Can I extend my Tanzania Tourist eVisa?
Yes. A standard single-entry visa can often be extended for an additional 90 days (totaling 180 days) at a Regional Immigration Office within Tanzania. This must be done in person before your original 90 days expire.
What happens if my Tanzania visa application is denied?
Denials are often due to blurry passport photos or typos. If your application is rejected, you can usually re-apply with corrected info. iVisa offers denial protection to help cover costs if your application is not approved.
