Entry requirements
- By bilateral agreement, US citizens are required to apply for a Multiple Entry Visa (valid for 12 months) rather than the standard single-entry tourist visa. The fee is $100 USD.
- You can apply for the e-Visa online before travel through the official Tanzania Immigration portal, or obtain it upon arrival at major entry points (e.g., Kilimanjaro International Airport, Julius Nyerere International Airport).
- Applying online in advance is highly recommended to avoid long queues at the airport.
Stay
Valid for multiple entries over 12 months, with each stay not exceeding 90 days.
Passport
Passport must be valid for at least six (6) months from the date of visa application, with at least one blank page.
