BEFORE YOU GO
PASSPORT & VISA
A valid passport is required to enter Tanzania. It should be valid for at least six months from your expected entry date. If it is not you must have another passport issued.
Check with the nearest Tanzanian Consulate, Embassy or High Commission to see if a visa is required for your nationality. If so, please apply for your visa before you travel to Tanzania. You should allow plenty of time for processing before your departure.
You may want to use the services of a visa processing company to assist with procuring passport, visa etc. The internet is a good place to look for these companies.
It is possible to obtain a tourist visa for a single entry at one of the following entry points in Tanzania. This can be a time-consuming and hectic process; therefore, we recommend that you procure your visa before departing.
• Dar es Salaam International Airport
• Zanzibar International Airport
• Kilimanjaro International Airport
• Namanga Boarder (Tanzania-Kenya border)
A visa costs approximately £UK 38 or $US 50
