Entry requirements depend on your nationality, travel purpose and itinerary, and they can change. Use this guide as a planning checklist, then confirm the current rules with Tanzania Immigration and your airline before departure.
Check visa rules for your passport
Use the official Tanzania Immigration visa portal to check whether you need a visa, which category applies and how to apply. Use official government links only, and allow time for any required review before you book non-refundable travel.
Review your travel documents
- Check your passport’s validity and available pages against current official guidance.
- Keep copies of your passport, visa decision and travel itinerary in a separate place.
- Confirm entry and transit requirements for every country on your route.
- Keep accommodation and return or onward travel details available if requested.
Plan health and insurance arrangements
Speak with a qualified travel-health professional well before departure about your route and personal health needs. Check that your insurance covers the activities on your itinerary, including trekking if relevant, and understand how to contact your provider while travelling.
Practical checks before you leave
- Confirm baggage allowances for any domestic flights.
- Ask your operator about transfers, local payments and connectivity.
- Share an emergency contact and keep important documents accessible.
- Recheck official entry information shortly before travel.
