There are three main ways to obtain a visa to travel to Tanzania:
- Visa on arrival (VOA): This is the most convenient option for many travelers. citizens of most African countries, the United States, Canada, most European countries, and many other nationalities can obtain a visa upon arrival at any Tanzania airport or land border crossing. The visa typically costs between $50 and $100 and can be paid for in cash ( USD, EUR, OR TZS) or by credit card. Requirements for an eVisa are similar to those for a VOA.
- Embassy or consulate visa: A visa obtained from a Tanzanian embassy or consulate is required for travelers from some countries, including China, India, and Brazil. The application process can vary depending on the embassy or consulate but typically involves submitting a completed application form, passport photos, a valid passport, proof of travel insurance, and proof of sufficient funds. Processing times can also vary but can take several weeks.
