Whether you need a visa for Tanzania depends on your nationality, with some travellers exempt and others requiring a visa obtained online or, where eligible, on arrival. Check official immigration guidance before travelling, and ensure your passport has at least six months’ validity and an unused visa page.

Use Tanzania’s official immigration guidance to check the requirements for your passport and purpose of travel.
Before applying:
An online visa and a visa on arrival are both official routes for eligible travellers, but eligibility varies. Do not assume the same process applies to everyone in your group.
Use the official Tanzania Immigration website to access current guidance and application services.
