Visa & Entry Requirements

• Apply online through the official Tanzania eVisa portal, visa.immigration.go.tz, a few weeks before you travel.
• A single-entry tourist visa costs US$50 for most nationalities. US citizens receive a multiple-entry visa, which costs US$100.
• Visas on arrival are also available at the main international airports, but queues can be long after a long flight.
• Only use the official government website: unofficial visa websites charge extra fees.

Visa fees are set by the Tanzanian government and can change, so always check the official portal before you apply.

• Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your date of entry.
• It should have at least two blank pages for your visa and entry stamps.

Zanzibar is part of Tanzania, so your Tanzanian visa is valid there. Zanzibar also requires every international visitor to buy its own inbound travel insurance online before arrival, in addition to your personal travel insurance. Ask us if you are unsure what you need.

A yellow fever certificate is only required if you arrive from, or have transited through, a country with a risk of yellow fever. See our health guide for details.
