Before you travel to Tanzania, it's important to understand the visa and entry requirements. This guide covers everything you need to know – from the e-Visa application process and visa-free entry for certain nationalities to the required documents for a smooth arrival.
Visa requirements can change, so we always recommend checking the official Tanzanian immigration website or consulting your nearest Tanzanian embassy for the most up-to-date information.
Most nationalities can apply for a Tanzania e-Visa online before travel. Simple, fast, and convenient.
Citizens of several countries can enter Tanzania visa-free for up to 90 days. Check if your nationality is on the list.
Select nationalities can obtain a visa upon arrival at Tanzanian airports. Check eligibility and have USD cash ready.
The Tanzania e-Visa is an online visa application system that allows travellers to apply for their visa before arriving in Tanzania. It's the most convenient way to obtain your visa.
Citizens of the following countries can enter Tanzania visa-free for tourism or business purposes. Check the duration and conditions that apply to your nationality.
* This list is not exhaustive. Visa requirements may change. Always check with the Tanzanian embassy or official immigration website before travel.
Ensure a smooth arrival by having all the necessary documents ready before you travel to Tanzania.
Your passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of entry into Tanzania. Ensure you have at least one blank page for the entry stamp.
If your nationality requires a visa, ensure you have obtained your e-Visa or visa-on-arrival approval before travel. Print the e-Visa confirmation to present at immigration.
If you are travelling from a country with a risk of yellow fever, you must present a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate upon arrival. Check if this applies to you.
You may be asked to show proof of onward or return travel. Keep a copy of your flight itinerary handy.
Immigration officials may ask for your accommodation details. Have your hotel or lodge reservations ready.
Travel insurance is recommended for all travellers. While not always requested, it's essential for peace of mind and emergency situations.
Ensure you have all required documents – passport, visa (if needed), yellow fever certificate, and return flight details.
On the flight or at the airport, complete the required landing cards and health declaration forms.
Present your documents at immigration. If you have an e-Visa, show the printed confirmation. Answer questions about your travel plans.
Collect your luggage and proceed through customs. Declare any restricted or valuable items if required.
Exit the arrivals hall to meet your Sky Safari Tours representative, who will be holding a sign with your name.
