Tanzania E-Visa Guide
Your step-by-step guide to the Tanzania e-visa application
To save you from the mind-boggling Tanzania E-Visa application process, we have created an easy, step-by-step guide to help you tackle the task. You can apply for a Tanzania visa both online, in advance, or directly at the airport upon arrival.
The process
Our concierge team will reach out to you around 2 months before departure, sending you important information for your upcoming trip. If you wish to apply for the Tanzania e-visa in advance, please request a ‘Visa Letter’ from our concierge team, which shows you are hosted and supplies accommodation details and your itinerary.
Don’t stress, you will have time to complete the application as it’s recommended to have it completed at least three weeks before you fly.
Before you start, make sure you have the following documents:
– A photo of yourself – don’t worry if you don’t have an official passport photo, you simply need a clear image of yourself against a plain background.
– A photo of the ID page of your passport
– A photo of your international flight tickets
Please make sure you save the photos as small JPEG files, as they will only accept images maximum size of 293KB.
