Since 2018, the Tanzanian government has introduced an electronic visa that allows you to visit mainland Tanzania and the island of Zanzibar as part of a business trip or private tourism.

Travel to Tanzania with an electronic visa: procedures and deadlines
Whether you're a business or leisure traveler, preparing for your trip to Tanzania means obtaining a visa tailored to the reason for your stay abroad, after you've purchased your plane tickets. Before applying for a visa, make sure your passport is valid. Your identity document must be valid for at least 6 months after your date of arrival at your destination in order to obtain an e-visa for Tanzania.
The e-visa for Tanzania is available to over 100 different nationalities, including French, Belgian and Swiss nationals.
Entrust your electronic visa application for Tanzania to Visamundi, an agency specialized in travel documents for individuals and professionals. All you need to do is provide us with a photocopy of your passport, a passport photo and your return flight tickets via our online form, after entering the reason for your stay in Tanzania and your arrival and departure dates. If you are traveling to Tanzania for business or humanitarian purposes, a letter of invitation will also be required. We will then take care of the rest of the paperwork involved in your e-visa application for Tanzania.
With Visamundi, choose simplicity and efficiency. Our team will carefully check the conformity of your documents and obtain a response from the authorities concerning your visa application in 5 days on average. So make your request on our website at least 5 days before your arrival date in Tanzania to organize your departure with peace of mind, even for a relatively urgent departure. We can also process group applications to facilitate your departure with family, friends or business partners.
With our online electronic visa application process, you don't need to know anyone on the ground to obtain a visa for Tanzania. However, you do need to be in a country other than Tanzania when you apply, not be in possession of a Tanzanian resident visa, and have a means of leaving the country once you're there, i.e. a return air ticket. If your situation corresponds to all these criteria, we invite you to apply for an e-visa with our experienced agency.
Once issued, your eVisa for Tanzania will be valid for up to 90 days from the date of your arrival in the country. Please note that local authorities may reduce the validity period depending on the information you provide. You will receive your visa in electronic format, and will need to print it out in color to present to the relevant authorities on arrival in Tanzania. However, the residence permit will only be valid for arrival in Tanzania within 90 days of issue, so it's pointless, and even counterproductive, to apply for an e-visa too early once you've booked your return flights.
With an e-visa for Tanzania, you can prepare your trip online without having to visit an embassy. Compared to a traditional visa application, the online process is simpler and allows you to obtain a visa in a shorter time. Please note, however, that the e-visa for Tanzania is only valid from 3 airports: Julius Nyerere airport(Dar es Salaam), Kilimanjaro airport and Abeid Amani Karume airport in Kisauni(Zanzibar), and 2 land borders: Namanga and Tunduma. If you arrive on Tanzanian soil by sea or from another border, please apply for a regular visa at the Tanzanian embassy or at your port of arrival.
