Entering Tanzania

Visa

Almost all people visiting Tanzania on holiday will need a visa. The cost of the visa varies depending on your nationality.

Tourist visas can be obtained on arrival but there are sometimes long queues on arrival – and that’s the last thing you want after a long flight!

We recommend that you buy your visa ahead of time through the Tanzanian Government portal – you don’t have to send your passport away – its all online and you will be sent a sheet with your approved visa – you simply print it out and bring it along with you to show when you arrive.

Follow this link to the visa application website:

You are applying for a Tourist Visa. When it asks for your local operator and their contact details please write African Environments as your tour operator and our contact information is;

African Environments Ltd, Mawalla Road, Olasiti, Arusha,

TZ Tel: +255 (0)784 506600

The application process usually only takes a couple of days BUT it can take longer – we recommend you apply for your visa at least 10 days before your visit.

You will also need to print a hard copy of your visa to present on arrival.
