Eligibility for Czech Passport Holders
Possessing a valid Czech passport makes you eligible to apply. The system accepts applications from Czech residents regardless of location. Your eligibility depends on passport validity and a genuine travel purpose.
What Is a Tanzania eVisa?
A Tanzania eVisa functions as an electronic travel permit managed by the Tanzanian government. Unlike traditional visas, it exists only as a digital entry in the immigration system. Your approval connects directly to your passport number.
This permit grants you permission to enter Tanzania for your stated purpose. It specifies how long you can remain and whether you can make multiple journeys. Understanding these parameters is essential for trip planning.
The Application Process
Your application begins with an online form where you enter personal information and passport details. You'll describe your accommodation and explain your reason for visiting Tanzania.
After submitting the form, you upload scanned copies of your required documents. These files must be clear and in the proper format. Your application then enters the processing queue.
Tracking Your Application Progress
You can check your application status anytime. Visit the Tanzania eVisa status page and enter your passport number and order ID. This system provides instant updates without requiring contact with anyone.
Processing Timeframes and Costs
Various processing options accommodate different schedules. Standard processing costs less but
requires more time, while expedited services cost more but deliver faster. All processing levels
maintain identical approval standards.
Your total fees include government charges and service fees listed separately. Understand both
components before finalising your submission. For detailed cost and timeframe information, consult
our fees and processing time

Required Documentation
Your application requires specific supporting documents to verify your identity and travel intentions. Submit all documents as digital files. Rather than detailing each requirement here, we've created a comprehensive resource.

Why Tanzania Attracts Czech Explorers
Tanzania presents extraordinary experiences for Czech visitors. The country combines spectacular landscapes with rich cultural heritage. Mount Kilimanjaro attracts mountaineers from across Europe. The Serengeti National Park showcases the world's most impressive wildlife migration. Zanzibar Island combines beaches with historical exploration. The Ngorongoro Crater provides unique wildlife viewing opportunities.
Czech tourists particularly value Tanzania's authentic experiences and excellent value for money.
Important Travel Information
- Before travelling, ensure your passport has at least six months validity remaining from your entry date. This requirement applies universally.
- Tanzania uses the Tanzanian Shilling as currency. Major cities have ATMs and accept credit cards, but cash is necessary for smaller towns. Exchange rates generally favour European visitors.
- English is widely understood in tourist areas. Swahili is the national language, and locals appreciate visitors attempting basic phrases. Combined, these languages cover most communication needs.
- Health precautions are important. Yellow fever vaccination is recommended for certain regions. Travel insurance including medical coverage is highly advisable.
Rules About Overstaying
Your eVisa specifies exactly how many days you can remain in Tanzania. Exceeding this period violates Tanzanian law. Consequences include fines, detention, and future entry bans.
If you need more time, you must request an extension through Tanzanian immigration before your current permit expires. Extensions aren't automatic and require formal application.
Available eVisa Types
Tanzania offers multiple eVisa categories for different travel purposes. Tourism eVisas suit holiday visitors, business eVisas serve professionals, and other categories address specific needs. Each type has particular requirements.
