The government of Tanzania has just implemented a new process for travelers obtaining visas on arrival, effective immediately. The new process requires travelers to stand in three separate lines: first to obtain a government control number, then pay the visa fee at the airport bank, and finally to allow for immigration to check and issue the visa. These are all separate procedures  and could take up to two hours to complete!

Travelers are urged to apply for an E-visa prior to traveling. This can be done by going to: https://eservices.immigration.go.tz/visa/ and filling out the application.  Most visas are issued within 2-3 weeks after being submitted.

Please note that only the following ports of entry accept the E-visa:

  • Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR)
  • Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO)
  • Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ)
  • Namanga (road border between Arusha & Nairobi)
  • Tunduma (road border between Tanzania & Zambia

If you are entering through a port not listed above you will have to apply for a visa upon arrival.

 

Visa Specialists are here to help!  If you would like assistance in applying for your E- visa please contact Visa Service Inc at 617- 266 -7646 or send an email to info@visaserviceboston.com.

Get in Touch

Esplanade arranged a wonderful New Zealand adventure for my wife and myself in 2020…just a couple of months prior to Covid shutting down the world! During this difficult time for the planet, the staff from Esplanade continued to reach out to us on how they recommended we deal with our travel plans and the expenditures we had previously committed to. They continuously updated our travel plans and made all the necessary adjustments to our itineraries. Almost three years to the day later, we were able to enjoy our New Zealand trip. The reservations, excursions, and overall recommendations made by Esplanade were fantastic! We commented several times that their commitment to the smallest of details was very apparent. Our flights were perfectly spaced, our drivers all showed up on time, and our accommodations and excursions were beyond expectations. We now plan on trusting Esplanade for our future travels to Africa and Europe. We cannot recommend them more.
