What Is a Tanzania eVisa?
A Tanzania eVisa is a digital travel permit issued by the Tanzanian government. It exists as an electronic record in the immigration system, linked to your passport number. You do not receive a physical document to carry.
Your eVisa grants permission to enter Tanzania for your stated purpose. It specifies your permitted stay duration and whether multiple entries are allowed. Understanding these details helps you plan your trip effectively.
The Application Process
Your application begins with completing an online form. You provide personal information, passport details, and information about your travel plans and accommodation in Tanzania.
After submitting the form, you upload digital copies of required documents. These files must be clear and in the specified formats. Your application then enters the processing system for review.
Tracking Your Application
You can monitor your application status anytime. Visit the Tanzania eVisa status portal and enter your passport number and order ID. This system provides real-time updates on your application progress.
Processing Options and Costs
Several processing options are available to match your timeline. Standard processing is more affordable but requires more time, whilst expedited services process faster for an additional fee. All processing levels maintain identical quality standards.
Your fees include government charges and service fees, listed separately. Review both components before finalising your application. For complete information about all costs and timeframes, visit our fees and processing time page.
Required Documents
Your application requires specific supporting documents to verify your identity and travel intentions. Submit all documents as digital files. Rather than listing each requirement individually, we have compiled comprehensive guidance.
