Frequently asked questions about the Tanzania Business eVisa

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.

Can I enter Tanzania multiple times with a Business eVisa?

No. The Tanzania Business eVisa is strictly a single-entry visa. Once you exit the country, the visa expires immediately, even if you haven't used the full 90-day validity period. If you must return for a follow-up project, you'll need to apply for a new visa.

How long can I stay in Tanzania on a Business eVisa?

The Business eVisa permits a maximum stay of up to 90 days from your entry date. Immigration officers at the border determine your exact allowed stay upon arrival based on the duration specified in your host company's documentation.

What specific documents must the host company in Tanzania provide?

Your host institution must provide a formal invitation letter on company letterhead signed by a senior manager, detailing the specific purpose and duration of your assignment. They must also provide a copy of their valid Business License or Certificate of Incorporation.

Do I need a Tanzania Business Visa to attend a simple conference or corporate meeting?

No. If you're only attending a seminar, corporate meeting, or networking event without performing manual labor or specialized consulting, you can typically enter using a standard Ordinary Visa rather than the Business Visa.

collapse-start]Can I use the Tanzania Business eVisa to establish long-term employment? No. The Business eVisa is strictly for short-term assignments. It can't be used to secure permanent employment or replace a formal Work Permit or Residence Permit. Engaging in continuous long-term labor without proper permits will lead to fines or deportation.[collapse-end]

How will I receive the Tanzania Business eVisa?

Once your Tanzania Business eVisa application is approved, you’ll receive an email with a PDF. We recommend printing a physical copy to present to your airline before boarding and to immigration officers at the port of entry. You should also keep a digital backup on your phone.

How long does the Tanzania Business eVisa processing take?

The Tanzania Business eVisa is usually processed quickly. With iVisa, you can get your Tanzania Business eVisa in as little as 2 days (depending on your application and chosen delivery speed). We recommend applying at least 6 days before your departure date to account for any unexpected government delays.

What happens if my Tanzania Business eVisa application is denied?

If denied, you will receive a notification via email. The most common reason for denial is missing documents. You can usually re-apply by submitting a completely new application with corrected information. iVisa offers denial protection. Our experts manually review your application before submission to prevent these issues.
