Tanzania Visa Information – Entry Requirements for Your Safari

Visa Information

When going to Tanzania, you have two options for a visa: E-VISA or Arrival VISA.

We recommend the E-Visa so you can walk straight to customs, but if you prefer doing it in person, you can do that, too!

E-VISA

You need to apply for an e-visa at least 4 weeks before your travel dates.

You Will Need

A JPEG pic of your passport’s biometric page
A JPEG pic of yourself (smaller than 300KB). Don’t worry if you don’t have an official passport photo – a clear image of yourself against a plain background will do.
Your round-trip flight ticket – either PDF or JPEG will work
Contact info for your first destination – just address and phone number which you can find on their website
Your mother’s and father’s names and nationalities
Make note of the security question you choose, as it will be required to check your visa status later
Where it asks for ‘host details’, write ‘Self’, as this will save you having to complete the rest of that section
A valid Visa or MasterCard for online payment
Visit here if you have more questions

Arrival VISA

You need to apply for an e-visa at least 4 weeks before your travel dates.

You Will Need

Time to spare (bear this in mind if you have a connecting flight)
Confirm an arrival visa is accepted from your country of origin
The correct amount of US dollars to pay in cash
A pen to complete the forms - if provided by the airline, complete the form before you land and head straight for the visa booth
Nomad contact information or details of your first hotel
