Visa Exemption: Citizens of some countries do not require a visa to enter Tanzania for short stays (usually up to 90 days) for tourism, business, or family visits. These countries may include certain African countries and some countries in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. However, the length of stay permitted and specific conditions may vary, so it’s essential to check if your nationality qualifies for visa exemption and any conditions associated with it.

Visa on Arrival: Tanzania offers visa on arrival for citizens of some countries who are not eligible for visa exemption. Travelers can obtain a visa upon arrival at designated entry points, such as airports and land border crossings. The visa on arrival typically allows for short stays for tourism, business, or family visits.

E-Visa: Tanzania also offers an electronic visa (e-visa) system for citizens of certain countries. This allows travelers to apply for a visa online before their trip. The e-visa is usually available for tourism and business purposes, and applicants can receive their visa electronically after completing the online application and paying the required fee.

Visa Application: If your nationality requires a visa to enter Tanzania, you will need to apply for one in advance at a Tanzanian embassy, consulate, or visa application center in your country of residence. The application process usually involves submitting an application form, passport photos, a valid passport, proof of accommodation, proof of sufficient funds, and paying a visa fee.

Transit Visa: If you are transiting through Tanzania on your way to another country and you need to leave the airport or transit area, you may require a transit visa. This depends on your nationality and the duration of your layover. Transit visas are typically required for longer layovers or if you plan to leave the airport.

It’s essential to check the specific visa requirements for your nationality and the purpose of your visit to Tanzania before travelling.
