Tanzania Visa Information
Do I Need a Visa for Tanzania?
If you’re traveling from Europe or the USA, you will most likely need a visa to enter Tanzania. Check here for a list of countries that don’t need a visa.
How Do I Apply for a Visa to Tanzania?
Although you can get a tourist visa when you arrive at the Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro, or Zanzibar airports, it’s better to apply for one in your home country before your trip. You can apply online at Tanzania Visa Application.
Apply at least two weeks before you travel to allow enough time for processing. The application takes about 20-40 minutes, and you’ll need to have these documents ready:
- A copy of your passport (scanned and saved on your computer)
- Your e-ticket (saved on your computer)
- A passport-size photo (scanned and saved on your computer)
If you’re close to your departure date and can’t complete the online application, you can get a visa at the airport on arrival. You’ll need to pay in cash, in USD only.

He made us visit and discover the real wildlife of Tanzania. No trouble was too much for him. His knowledge about all the hotspots of the different animals is amazing. Haruna matata, he gets you around. Rony V2023-12-27 Unforgettable experience at Mount Meru! We climbed Mount Meru in 4 days with Happyson and his crew from Seko Tours. We had an amazing experience, even though it was quite tough (especially because of the rainy season). We made it to the top thanks to this wonderful crew. They even shared their rain jacket and waterproof gloves with us. The chef prepared delicious meals, and the waiter took great care of us (including water to wash ourselves, tea, popcorn and hot water in a bottle to keep us warm during the night). Happyson and team spared no efforts and we had a lot of fun together. On the fourth day, right before the gate, we were surprised by seeing so many wild animals and the beautiful waterfall. The two giraffes at just a few meters away was amazing. Would definitely recommend!! Romy H2023-11-28 Safari with David from Seko tours David was our guide for our 2 day Tarangire and 1 day Ngorongoro safari. We were with a group of 4 friends and David was the best guide we could wish for. He had a lot of knowledge about the area, the animals, the culture, actually about everything. He could find every amimal we wanted to see including the difficult to spot cheeta, leopard and rhino. He did everything to get us the best spot to view and photograph the animals. When viewing, he told us a lot of intersting facts about the animals and the area they are in. Between the safari days David also was our driver to all locations in between, always on time and always with surprises, like beer or a great warm lunch. Thanks David you made our trip really worth it!! Avdb2023-10-28 Best Safari guides with a lot of knowledge, friendliness and fun We had a wonderful experience with our guides Shabani (mr walking encyclopedia) and John (mr juice). We went to Tarangiri, Serengeti and Ngorogoro in 2 cars with a family of 7. Both guides learned us a lot on the animals and really were motivated to give us the best time possible. They are friendly, happy and the best guides you could wish for. We saw all animals we wanted to see multiple times and had a lot of fun together. Cindy V2023-07-24
