Visa Rules for Safari Travelers Visiting Tanzania

Visitors from most countries need a visa to enter Tanzania. You can apply in advance online for an e-Visa, or get a visa on arrival at major airports, Kilimanjaro International Airport among them. Because an e-Visa typically takes several business days to process, plan to apply at least three weeks before you travel and avoid leaving it to the last minute. Rules differ by nationality and shift from time to time. The surest approach is to check current requirements with your nearest Tanzanian embassy before booking flights, since general guidance can be slightly out of date for your particular situation. Our complete Tanzania visa guide walks through the full application process and the documents you'll need. Get in touch with any questions about your nationality or travel dates.
