Passport and Visas for Tanzania -Tanzania Visa Application Requirements

Passport and visas for Tanzania can be obtained via online Visa application before arrival or on arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport.
All travelers will need a passport which will remain valid for at least 6 months longer than your expected visit. You will also need to present proof that you have sufficient money to support yourself during your stay in Tanzania.
Each traveler is responsible for sorting out their own passport and visa requirements, and we cannot offer much assistance in this matter. If you do not yet have a passport, apply for one early, as they can take sometime to arrive. If you already have a passport, double check when it expires.
While Tanzania is a common wealth country citizens definitely do need a tourist visa to enter. This is also true for citizens of Australia, New Zealand, India, United states of America, Canada and most EU countries. Citizens of countries not mentioned should contact their nearest embassy or high commission to check visa requirements. Visas usually cost in the neighborhood of $50 ( around € 40 ), but some visas from the United States of America can cost $100. Tanzanian visas expire three months after they are issued so be careful not to apply to soon.
Visas can be purchased upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (IATA code :JRO), but you can expect long queues, and for the process to take an extra hour or more.
