Visa & Entry

The single-entry tourist visa costs USD 50 and allows a 90-day stay. You can also apply for an eVisa through the Tanzania Immigration eVisa portal (visa.immigration.go.tz) before departure. The eVisa costs the same and takes 5 to 10 business days to process.

Your passport must have at least 6 months of validity and 2 blank pages. Bring a completed arrival form (available at the airport), proof of accommodation, and a return or onward ticket. Payment for visa on arrival is in USD cash only. Credit cards are not accepted at the visa counter.

Ethiopian Airlines flies direct from Addis Ababa to Dar es Salaam (about 3 hours) and to Kilimanjaro. Tanzania uses the Tanzanian shilling (TZS). USD is widely accepted for tourist services, safaris, and hotels. ATMs in Dar es Salaam and Arusha work with international cards.
