Does the eVisa cover Zanzibar?

Yes. Zanzibar is part of Tanzania, so the tourist eVisa covers both the mainland and the islands.

What documents do I need?

A passport valid for at least six months from arrival, a recent photo, a confirmed return or onward flight, and an email address to receive your approved eVisa.

How long does the eVisa take?

Most Tanzania eVisas are approved within a few working days. Apply ahead of travel and we will email your visa once issued.

The tourist eVisa allows a stay of up to 90 days with single entry.

Should I get a visa on arrival instead?

A visa on arrival is available for many nationalities but is not guaranteed and can mean long airport queues, so applying online in advance is the safer choice.
