Tourist Visa Information

Wild World Serengeti Safari Guide Updated July 3, 2026 Local Tanzania Advice
Most international travellers need a tourist visa to enter Tanzania. Requirements can change, so always check the latest official guidance before departure and make sure your passport has enough validity.

Visa Options

Many travellers apply online before arrival through the official Tanzania e-visa system. Some nationalities may be able to obtain a visa on arrival, but applying ahead can make the airport process smoother.

Passport Validity

Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date and have blank pages for immigration stamps. Airline staff may check this before boarding.

Arrival Airports

Common arrival points include Kilimanjaro International Airport, Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam, Abeid Amani Karume International Airport in Zanzibar, and land borders for regional travel.

Zanzibar And Mainland Travel

Zanzibar is part of Tanzania. You may pass through domestic checks when moving between mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, so keep your passport and travel documents accessible.

Before departure, confirm

  • Passport validity and blank pages
  • Visa or e-visa status
  • Travel insurance details
  • Return or onward flight documents
  • Accommodation and tour confirmation
  • Any health or vaccination requirements for your route
