Does the eVisa cover Zanzibar?

Yes. Zanzibar is part of Tanzania, so the tourist eVisa covers both the mainland and the islands.

What documents do I need?

A passport valid for at least six months from arrival, a recent photo, a confirmed return or onward flight, and an email address to receive your approved eVisa.

How long does the eVisa take?

Most Tanzania eVisas are approved within a few working days. Apply ahead of travel and we will email your visa once issued.

The tourist eVisa allows a stay of up to 90 days with single entry.

Should I get a visa on arrival instead?

A visa on arrival is available for many nationalities but is not guaranteed and can mean long airport queues, so applying online in advance is the safer choice.

How much does a Tanzania visa cost?

A Tanzania Tourist eVisa costs $75 through VisitsVisa. The $75 price is all-inclusive — the government fee and our service fee are already bundled in, so there are no hidden charges at checkout. Every traveller on the trip — including children and infants — needs their own Tanzania visa, and you can add multiple applicants to a single order and pay together in one checkout.

How long does Tanzania visa processing take?

Standard Tanzania visa processing usually takes 3 working days. If you are travelling soon, choose Express at checkout and we prioritise your application, with delivery typically within 24 hours. We recommend applying a few days before departure so your Tanzania eVisa is confirmed well ahead of your flight.

How long is a Tanzania visa valid and how long can I stay?

The Tanzania Tourist eVisa permits a stay of Up to 90 days and is valid for 3 months from issue (single entry). Make sure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your date of arrival, as this is the most common reason Tanzania applications are refused.
