Tanzania Visa FAQs

Generally, one approved Tanzania eVisa allows entry to the United Republic of Tanzania, including Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. You normally select your first destination in the form, then you can travel onward within Tanzania without applying again.

Apply as soon as you have a confirmed itinerary and passport ready. Referral categories can require longer lead times. Applying early reduces the risk of delays close to departure.

A passport biodata page (valid at least 6 months), a recent passport photo, and proof of onward/return travel are commonly requested. Additional documents may be required based on visa type and nationality.

You complete the online form, upload required documents, then pay online when prompted. Payment methods can vary by portal configuration and bank acceptance.

The ordinary (single-entry) visa is commonly valid for up to 90 days. Always confirm the exact validity shown on your grant notice and comply with entry conditions on arrival.

Extensions are handled by immigration authorities in Tanzania and depend on your visa type, purpose, and compliance status. Plan to apply before your authorized stay expires and carry supporting evidence.

Rejections can happen due to missing/incorrect documents or mismatched information. Correct the issues and reapply, or consult support to ensure your documents meet the required format and criteria.
