Tanzania Visa and Entry Requirements
Most visitors need a visa to enter Tanzania. Apply online before you travel to save time at the airport.
Tourist visa
Most nationalities need an Ordinary (single-entry) tourist visa, which costs USD 50 and allows a stay of up to 90 days. Citizens of the United States receive a multiple-entry visa costing USD 100. A few countries are visa-exempt and some nationalities need a referral visa approved in advance.
How to apply
Apply on the official Tanzania Immigration portal, visa.immigration.go.tz, at least two to four weeks before you travel. You will need a passport scan, a passport photo and your return ticket. Use only the official government site — other websites charge extra service fees.
Passport
Your passport should be valid for at least six months after your arrival date and have at least two blank pages.
Combining Kenya or Uganda
If you also visit Kenya or Uganda, ask us about the East Africa Tourist Visa or a multiple-entry visa.
