Frequently asked questions

How much is the Tanzania tourist visa for Egyptians?
The ordinary tourist visa is USD 50; use the official online route or an eligible arrival point.
Does Zanzibar need another visa?
No. One Tanzanian visa covers mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. Select the first destination in the application; check the separate insurance requirement.
How long before travel should I apply?
At least 10 days; referral cases should allow at least two calendar months and wait for approval before reservations.
Does Gulf residence exempt me?
No Gulf-residence exemption was established. Eligibility follows your passport and any Tanzanian permit you hold.
Is travel insurance required for Tanzania?
Foreign visitors need the designated inbound policy, subject to published residence exceptions. The standard adult price is USD 44. Confirm which policy covers your first entry and itinerary.
Do I need the yellow fever certificate after a connection?
For mainland entry, transit in an endemic country for 12 hours or more triggers the requirement, subject to age and medical exceptions.
Can I use a transit visa for a holiday?
No. The USD 30 transit visa is for onward transit for up to 7 days; tourism requires the appropriate visitor product.
Can I get the fee back after refusal?
No. Fees are prepaid, non-refundable and non-transferable, including after refusal or cancellation.
Does a child need a separate visa?
Each passport holder needs a separate application. Additional parental consent is requested for a child under 18 travelling alone or with one parent.
