Tanzania Entry Requirements: What You Need to Know
1. Passport Requirements
To enter Tanzania, travelers must have a valid passport with at least six months remaining before expiration. Additionally, there should be at least one blank page for visa stamps.
2. Do You Need a Visa for Tanzania?
Most travelers need a visa to enter Tanzania. There are two main options:
Online Visa (eVisa): You can apply for a Tanzanian visa online via the official government portal. Processing takes around 10 business days.
Visa on Arrival: Available for many nationalities at airports and land borders. The standard single-entry visa costs $50, while US citizens require a multiple-entry visa for $100.
3. Do You Need a Yellow Fever Vaccine?
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if you are traveling from a country with a risk of yellow fever. If you are flying directly from Europe or North America, this is not mandatory. However, carrying proof of routine vaccinations (such as COVID-19, Hepatitis A/B, and Typhoid) is recommended.
4. Other Travel Requirements
Travel Insurance: Strongly recommended to cover medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and trekking-related incidents.
Return Ticket & Proof of Funds: While not always checked, immigration officers may request proof of onward travel and sufficient funds for your stay.
