Before You Travel

Tanzania Visa

Most visitors need a visa to enter Tanzania. Applying online before you fly is the fastest and safest route.

Apply online for an e-visa

Apply through the official Tanzania immigration e-visa portal at least three weeks before departure. You will need a passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival with two blank pages, a passport photo, your flight details and your accommodation or safari confirmation — we provide this letter for you.
