Tanzania Visa
Tanzania Visa
Tanzania is one of the most popular countries to attract safari tourists globally. If you are planning a safari or a beach holiday, your priority should be to secure a Tanzania Visa.
Thankfully, Tanzania has made the process relatively straightforward for most international travellers. Citizens of many countries can obtain a tourist visa either on arrival at the airport or in advance through an eVisa application. The tourist visa typically grants a stay of 90 days, but it’s important to check specific requirements based on your nationality.
The eVisa process is simple and convenient, allowing travellers to apply online and receive their approval via email before they even board their flight.
If you prefer the traditional route, you can apply for a visa at a Tanzanian embassy or consulate in your home country. This method might take a little longer, but it’s an option for travellers who want a flexible issue of their visas before departure. It’s recommended to apply several weeks ahead of your trip, particularly during peak travel seasons.
Be sure to have a valid passport, a passport-sized photo, and any additional documents the embassy may require, such as a travel itinerary or proof of onward travel.
Zanzibar Visa, Business & Transit Visa in Tanzania
Visa requirements for Zanzibar are the same as those for mainland Tanzania, as Zanzibar falls under Tanzanian territory. Those travelling to Tanzania for business, or wishing to extend their stay, may need to explore different visa types, such as the business or transit visa.
Always ensure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your intended arrival date in Tanzania to avoid any hassles.
Securing a Tanzania Visa is typically easy, allowing you to focus more on planning the unforgettable adventure that awaits you.
