VISA

Visa requirements for visitors to Tanzania

Almost all visitors to Tanzania are required visas. The cost is US$ 50 for a single entry visa, valid for up to 3 (three months) from the date of issue.
As long as your Tanzanian visa remains valid, you can visit either Kenya or Uganda and return to Tanzania without having to apply for another visa.

Notice to American passport holders: With effect from September 20, 2007 the visa fee for the American citizens travelling to Tanzania shall be US$ 100. The new visa fee shall apply for single, double and multiple entries. The changes have effect to American passport holders only - and not for any other nationality.
Tanzanian embassies abroad recommend getting a visa before arriving in Tanzania, but most visitors**) can nowadays buy a visa in the airports and at any border post to Tanzania with very little hassle - only with US$ 50/100 in cash, a pen and some patience.  
Note: Entry regulations are constantly changing; please contact the nearest Tanzanian embassy or representation for an update at least four weeks before travel.
Visa extension: An application for a visa extension can be obtained and filled in at the Immigration Office in Mwanza (located in Station Road - opposite Fortes Car Hire). There is no charge, and the extension will generally be issued the same day. No photos are required.
*) Note: Nationals of Lebanon, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Somalia and for Refugees, stateless people and other nationalities as may be specified from time to time by the authorities - need a special clearance or permission from the Director of Immigration Services in Dar es Salaam. People affected by this regulation may make enquiries at the nearest Tanzania mission abroad.
