Tanzania Visa for Indian Citizens — What You Need to Know
Indian citizens need a visa to visit Tanzania. The most common option is the eVisa, allowing stays of up to 90 days. The government fee is $50, with 3–5 day processing through PassportsAndVisas.com. Our specialists review every India application before submission — catching photo errors, passport validity issues, and data mismatches that cause 73% of rejections. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned arrival date with 2 blank pages. A return or onward ticket is required. In business since 1992, we have processed over 500,000 visa applications — including thousands for Indian passport holders.
Tanzania Visa Policy for Indian Citizens — 2026 Update
Tanzania's visa policy for Indian citizens requires advance application before travel. The electronic visa (eVisa) system was introduced to streamline the process — replacing the previous embassy-only application for most Indian travelers. The eVisa allows online application without visiting a consulate, with approval typically issued within 3–5 business days. 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.
Indian citizens should apply for their Tanzania visa at least 8 days before departure to allow time for processing and any document corrections. Rush processing is available for travelers with imminent departure dates. The visa is typically issued as a single-entry permit valid for 90 days from the issue date — entry must occur within this window, and the 90-day stay period begins on arrival.
Traveling to Tanzania from India — What to Know Before You Go
Planning a trip to Tanzania from India involves a few key logistics beyond the visa. Direct flights are available from major India 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 India passport must have at least 6 months of validity remaining beyond your departure date from Tanzania, and at least 2 blank pages for entry stamps. If your passport is expiring soon, PassportsAndVisas.com can expedite India passport renewal — often faster than standard government processing times.
Once your Tanzania eVisa 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.
How Indian Citizens Apply for a Tanzania Visa — Step by Step
Applying for a Tanzania visa as a Indian citizen through PassportsAndVisas.com takes 5–10 minutes online. You will need your India 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 Indian citizens face Tanzania visa rejection is passport photo non-compliance. Tanzania requires a white background, 35x45mm 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 Indian-specialist on our team — someone familiar with the specific patterns that trigger scrutiny for India 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 3–5 business days.
