Frequently Asked Questions About Eligible Countries

If your country is not listed as eligible for the Tanzania eVisa, you will need to apply for a visa through the nearest Tanzanian embassy or consulate. Alternatively, some nationalities may check with immigration authorities if referral visas are available, which require prior approval before travel. We recommend contacting the Tanzanian embassy in your country for specific guidance.

Yes, if you hold dual citizenship and one of your nationalities is on the eligible countries list, you can apply for the Tanzania eVisa using that passport. However, you must enter Tanzania using the same passport you used for the eVisa application. Make sure to apply with the passport that offers visa eligibility.

Tanzania eVisas cannot be extended online. If you need to stay longer than your authorized period, you must visit the Immigration Services Department in Tanzania before your visa expires.

The standard processing time for the Tanzania eVisa is 3-5 business days. However, we recommend applying at least 7-10 days before your planned travel date to account for any potential delays. During peak travel seasons, processing may take slightly longer.
