      Tanzania issues different visa types depending on the purpose of travel. The Ordinary Visa is intended for most tourists, though US citizens must apply for a Multiple Entry Visa. The Multiple Entry Visa is also suitable for travelers making frequent visits, such as company directors, spouses of residents, or participants in bilateral government meetings.
Business travelers attending short-term assignments like equipment repairs, feasibility studies, or training should apply for a Business Visa. Transit Visas are available for those passing through the country, Gratis Visas are reserved for diplomats and officials, and Student Visas cover study, internships, or volunteer programs. Students from visa-exempt countries must instead apply for a Student Pass.
Visa eligibility varies by nationality. Some travelers can apply online or obtain a visa on arrival, while others require a referral visa, which must be approved before traveling. Referral applicants are advised to submit their requests at least two months before departure and provide documents such as an invitation letter and local host details.
Tanzania exempts certain nationals from visa requirements, including citizens of East African Community states, most Southern African Development Community countries, and some Commonwealth nations. As the government regularly updates these lists, travelers should check the latest requirements before applying.
