Immediate Change to Tanzania Visa Process

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.

Our travels started back in March of 2020. Our trip started and included a great week in Tahiti then New Zealand. Although that’s when Covid exploded while we were there in Tahiti. That’s when we found out they had closed the border into NZ. Thankfully we had Esplanade to get us back home. We finally got back on track to New Zealand this March. We had a full itinerary planned. When we arrived, we had a driver waiting for us to take us to our Glamorous hotel with a great view of Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu and the Mountains in the background. We traveled to Milford Sound by bus then traveled thru out the scenic Milford Sound. Then they flew us back to our hotel. Another trip was on a Steamboat that took us to Farm. We had a great dinner there and tour of the farm that included the sheep dogs working the sheep. We could go on and on about this trip. The people from NZ our super nice. This trip was great from start to finish. Truly a bucket list trip. Esplanade will definitely be our choice for international travel, without a doubt. <br />
