Visas & Documentation
Visas Many of our visitors need a visa to enter and visit Tanzania and these can usually be obtained relatively easily. A visitor’s visa can usually be obtained in advance online, or on arrival. For peace of mind and to avoid a potentially long queue on arrival, you may wish to obtain your visa in advance. Details of which nationals can obtain their visa on arrival are available on the Tanzanian government website at https://www.immigration.go.tz./index.php/downloads/regulations by downloading the Visa Guidelines document. This also includes specifications for the required photograph and the current visa application fees, which are $50 per person ($100 for US nationals) at the time of writing. You can apply for a visa online at https://visa.immigration.go.tz/. Although it does not usually take this long, we advise you to apply at least 3 weeks before departure. Please note that you passport should be valid for at least six months after the start of your visit.
