Before you embark on your Tanzanian adventure with Kiliclimb Africa Safaris, make sure you understand the visa and passport requirements. Knowing what to prepare in advance will help you arrive stress-free and ready for the journey of a lifetime.


Do I Need a Visa to Enter Tanzania?

Yes — most international visitors require a visa to enter Tanzania. This applies to tourists, business travelers, and anyone planning to visit national parks, climb Mount Kilimanjaro, or enjoy beach holidays in Zanzibar.


Types of Tourist Visas

  • Single Entry Visa: Valid for 90 days; most common for safari tourists.

  • Multiple Entry Visa: Available for those traveling frequently; requires justification.

  • Transit Visa: For those passing through Tanzania for less than 7 days.


How to Apply for a Tanzanian Visa

Option 1: Apply Online (Recommended)

Tanzania’s eVisa system makes it easy and efficient to apply before you travel.

Option 2: Visa on Arrival

  • Available at major entry points like Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), Dar es Salaam (DAR), and Zanzibar (ZNZ).

  • Bring USD cash for payment (around $50 per person).

  • Expect potential wait times during busy seasons.


Passport Requirements

  • Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry.

  • You should have at least two blank pages for visa stamps.


Additional Tips from Kiliclimb Africa Safaris

  • Print your eVisa approval if applying online — internet access may be unreliable at airports.

  • Travelers from certain countries (e.g., some Middle Eastern or African nations) may need a referred visa, which requires prior approval from immigration authorities.

  • If you’re traveling to Zanzibar from the mainland or vice versa, no additional visa is required.
