Your Tanzania Gateway
Heard Island and McDonald Islands residents considering a Tanzanian visit will find the eVisa system remarkably convenient and straightforward. This electronic credential eliminates traditional obstacles, allowing you to concentrate on adventure preparation rather than visa complications. Whether you seek wildlife encounters, cultural immersion, or natural wonders, the eVisa provides efficient access to Tanzania's diverse attractions.
Understanding Your eVisa Authorisation
The Tanzania eVisa functions as an electronic permit granting you entry rights for leisure, professional, and transit purposes. This digital credential operates within Tanzania's immigration infrastructure, enabling rapid verification at all official entry points. The eVisa is entirely online-based, eliminating embassy appointments and paperwork. Once approved, your credential remains valid throughout a specified validity period, permitting one entry and a corresponding authorised stay.

Supporting Documentation Requirements
Your submission requires specific supporting documents for successful processing. These include a valid passport, a current photograph, and potentially additional materials depending on your travel purpose. Rather than listing each document individually, we direct you to our comprehensive documents required for Tanzania eVisa page, which outlines every requirement in detail.
Preparing for Your Journey
Before travelling, ensure your health precautions are current, particularly yellow fever protection. Investigate Tanzania's seasonal weather patterns and pack appropriate clothing. The country experiences distinct rainy and dry seasons affecting conditions and wildlife availability. Secure travel insurance covering medical emergencies, emergency evacuation, and trip disruptions. Familiarise yourself with Tanzanian customs and social norms to enrich your interactions with local communities.
Respecting Your Authorised Duration
Your eVisa specifies a fixed timeframe for your permitted stay in Tanzania. Exceeding this period without authorisation constitutes a serious breach, incurring substantial fines, potential legal action, and future travel complications. Immigration authorities enforce these regulations consistently. If circumstances require additional time, contact immigration officials before your authorisation expires to request an extension. Careful itinerary planning ensures you depart within your permitted timeframe.
