Explanation visa Tanzania

What is a visa for Tanzania and what types of visas are there?

If you want to go to Tanzania for a holiday or business trip, you must apply for a regular visa before entering the country. The visa is a sticker, which is issued by the Tanzanian government and is affixed to the passport. With this visa you have permission to enter the territory of Tanzania. This visa is usually issued by the Embassy of Tanzania in The Hague or the Consulate General of Tanzania in Nieuwerkerk aan de IJssel.

The visa will be checked during passport control in Tanzania. If you arrive by plane, the first visa check will probably already take place at the airport.

Our employees work professionally to ensure that your Tanzania visa application is presented flawlessly at the Tanzania Embassy or Consulate, so you can travel with confidence.

What types of Visa Tanzania applications are available?

Various visas are available for Tanzania. The type of visa depends on your destination. The most common are a visa for tourist reasons or a visa for business purposes. However, you also have a family visit visa, a volunteer visa, a work visa, a transit (transfer) visa, a conference visa, a student visa and a visa on a personal invitation.

The purpose of your trip determines the type of visa you need to apply for. If you are unsure which visa is most applicable to your situation, do not hesitate to contact us! Our employees can advise you on this.

You can apply for tourist and business visas online via our website.

In order to do this, you must supply your own file with the correct documents for each person, together with your passport and two official passport photos. We recommend that you always do this by registered mail or through our courier service. Compiling documents can often go wrong, because the Tanzanian government wants the file to be in perfect order. If this is not the case, the visa can be refused. That is why it is important that you submit your application correctly the first time. On our website you can see per visa what the requirements are and what conditions they must meet.

Keep in mind that children must also have their own visa. They also need to supply their own file with all necessary documents.

Our visa specialists will carefully and extensively check your file for any changes, additions and errors before the application is presented to the Tanzanian embassy. This way you can be sure that your application is offered without errors and that the documentation meets the requirements.

Keep in mind that the consulate and embassy are at all times free to request additional documents from you for your application, without providing any explanation.

What does a visa for Tanzania cost and how long does the procedure take?

The costs for the visa vary per visa type and processing time. Normally, a normal application often takes only 4 to 7 working days. An emergency procedure can also be completed in 3 working days.

However, the embassy and consulate at all times reserve the right to take longer to assess your application than the stated average processing time for this, without providing any explanation for doing so.

You can obtain a tourist visa from € 82.50. Do you want to know the other visa rates? Then take a look at our Tanzania visa page.
