Tanzania Tourist Visa

Tanzania Travel Information

Tanzania Visa – Most tourists visiting Tanzania from overseas will require a valid tourist visa. Visas can be obtained from your nearest Tanzanian mission or consulate, usually within one day. Though this is the recommended approach, it is also possible to obtain a tourist’s visa for a single entry at any one of the following four main entry points to Tanzania, subject to the fulfilment of all immigration and health requirements:

 Dar es Salaam International Airport

 Zanzibar International Airport

 Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA)

 Namanga Entry Point (Tanzania-Kenya boarder point)

For all other entry points in Tanzania, visitors must hold a valid visa prior to arrival.
