Turkey visa for Tanzanian citizens: Complete 2025 guide

While Turkey offers eVisas for most nationalities, Tanzanians hoping to visit the country must apply for a paper visa at their nearest Turkish embassy. Unfortunately, we do not currently offer this visa.

Turkey visa requirements for Tanzanian passport holders

The Turkish government maintains specific entry requirements for Tanzanian citizens:

• Valid passport with at least 6 months validity beyond planned stay

• Proof of sufficient funds (minimum $50 per day)
• Return flight ticket

• Travel insurance covering the entire stay

Application process and processing options

We don't offer this visa at the moment, Tanzanian travelers must apply for a paper visa at their nearest Turkish Embassy. To do so, you must follow these steps.

• Step 1: Book an appointment at the Dar es Salaam embassy or your nearest embassy or consulate.
• Step 2: Gather all your required documents and attend the appointment.
