A standard Tanzanian Visa allows a stay of up to 30 days. Consequently, should you wish to embark on a safari with Timon Safaris in Tanzania or explore the wonders of Zanzibar, you must ensure you have a valid Tanzanian Visa.

There are several countries whose citizens are not required to obtain visas for travel to Tanzania. These include Kenya, Romania, Singapore, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Hong Kong, Botswana, the South African Republic, Mozambique, Malta, and Swaziland. Conversely, nationals from countries such as Somalia, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Chad, Mauritania, Lebanon, Senegal, Iran, Niger, Sierra Leone, and Bangladesh, among others, are required to obtain visas.
Procedure for Visa Upon Arrival in Tanzania
Upon your arrival at one of Tanzania’s international airports without a Tanzanian Visa, there is a specific procedure that you must follow to apply for a Visa. This process generally takes between 20 minutes to 1 hour, particularly during high seasons, but the duration depends on the number of individuals applying at the airport. Following registration, you may need to wait several hours to receive your Visa.
Valuable Advice from Timon Safaris
At Timon Safaris, we strongly advise applying for your Visa via an online application before embarking on your trip. This is especially pertinent if you plan to travel during the high season, as the influx of travellers can increase the demand for Tanzanian Visas. Applying online in advance minimises potential delays, especially if travelling with children.
Additionally, it is essential to check the expiry date of your passport thoroughly. To be granted a Tanzanian Visa, your passport must remain valid for at least six months following your departure from Tanzania.
