Do I need a visa to visit Tanzania for tourism?

Only if your nationality is not on Tanzania's visa-exempt list (EAC, SADC-except-Comoros, and most Commonwealth countries). Everyone else needs either an e-Visa, a visa on arrival, or (for 23 named nationalities) a referral visa.

How long can I stay in Tanzania as a tourist?

The Ordinary Visa and visa-free entry both permit stays of up to 90 days.

How much does the Tanzania tourist e-Visa cost?

The Ordinary (single-entry) tourist visa costs 50 USD and is valid up to 90 days; US citizens must instead apply for the Multiple-Entry Visa, which costs 100 USD and is valid for 1 year.

Do US citizens need a different visa than other tourists?

Yes, US passport holders coming for tourism must apply for the Multiple-Entry Visa (100 USD, valid 1 year) instead of the standard 50 USD Ordinary Visa.

Where do I apply for the Tanzania e-Visa?

Applications must be made only through the official government portal at visa.immigration.go.tz; third-party sites are not the government's own system.

What passport validity is required to enter Tanzania?

Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of entry.

Do I need a blank page in my passport for Tanzania?

Yes, applicants must have at least one unused visa page in their passport before applying.

Do I need an onward or return ticket to enter Tanzania?

Yes, visitors must show a return ticket or onward ticket to their next destination at the point of entry.

Is a visa on arrival available for Tanzania?

Yes, most visa-required nationalities can get a visa on arrival at official entry points, though the government recommends applying online in advance; 23 named nationalities cannot use visa on arrival and need special pre-approval.

Is travel insurance mandatory for visiting Tanzania?

Yes. Since 1 October 2026 most foreign visitors must hold Inbound Travel Insurance (about 44 USD) bought from the National Insurance Corporation for mainland arrivals or the Zanzibar Insurance Corporation for Zanzibar arrivals, in addition to any visa.

Visa Policy

Tanzania Visa Policy for Bangladeshi Citizens

Tanzania's visa policy for Bangladeshi citizens requires advance application before travel. The embassy visa process requires submission to the nearest Tanzania consulate or embassy. The government fee of $50 is set by Tanzania immigration authorities and is subject to change. PassportsAndVisas.com monitors policy updates daily and will notify you of any fee changes after your application is submitted.

Bangladeshi citizens should apply for their Tanzania visa at least 18 days before departure to allow time for processing and any document corrections. Rush processing is available for travelers with imminent departure dates. The Tourist Visa (Referral) is issued, and the 90-day stay period begins on arrival.

Travel Context

Traveling to Tanzania from Bangladesh — What to Know Before You Go

Planning a trip to Tanzania from Bangladesh involves a few key logistics beyond the visa. Direct flights are available from major Bangladesh hubs to Tanzania's main international airports, with flight times varying depending on your departure city. We recommend booking refundable tickets until your visa is approved — PassportsAndVisas.com's service fee is charged only after visa approval, so you are not committed financially before your visa is confirmed.

Passport preparation is the most important step. Your Bangladesh passport must have at least 6 months of validity remaining beyond your departure date from Tanzania, and at least 1 blank pages for entry stamps. If your passport is expiring soon, PassportsAndVisas.com can expedite Bangladesh passport renewal — often faster than standard government processing times.

Once your Tanzania visa is approved, you will receive a PDF confirmation by email. Print this document and carry it with your passport — some Tanzania border officials require a physical copy, even for eVisas. Save a digital backup on your phone as well. Your visa details will also be linked to your passport number in Tanzania's immigration database.

Application Guide

What Bangladeshi Citizens Need Before Applying

Applying for a Tanzania visa as a Bangladeshi citizen through PassportsAndVisas.com takes 5–10 minutes online. You will need your Bangladesh passport (valid for 6+ months), a digital passport photo meeting Tanzania's exact specifications, and your travel dates. Our system guides you through each field and flags potential errors before submission.

The most common reason Bangladeshi citizens face Tanzania visa rejection is passport photo non-compliance. Tanzania requires a white background, the size shown on the government portal dimensions, taken within the last 6 months, with no glasses. Our proprietary photo-check system automatically validates your photo against Tanzania's requirements before we submit — catching the errors that cause the majority of preventable rejections.

After submission, your application is reviewed by a Bangladeshi-specialist on our team — someone familiar with the specific patterns that trigger scrutiny for Bangladesh passport holders. We submit to Tanzania Immigration within 2 hours of receiving your complete file. You will receive email updates throughout the process, and your approved visa PDF will be delivered to your inbox — typically within 5–15 business days.
