Do you need a visa?
Yes: Austrian travellers need an e-Visa to enter Tanzania for tourism, including Zanzibar. This electronic visa is applied for online before the trip. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months on entry.
How and where to apply
Apply from Austria on the official Tanzanian immigration e-services portal (eservices.immigration.go.tz) before departure. The form, payment and document upload are all done online. Some entry points may also offer a visa on arrival, but the pre-arranged e-Visa remains recommended.
Documents and fees

Processing and tips
Processing time depends on the Tanzanian authorities and is not confirmed here — apply several days before departure. Keep the approved e-Visa (printout or digital version) for check-in and border control. Proof of yellow-fever vaccination may be required depending on your itinerary — check this on the official source.
Common mistakes
Common errors are an insufficiently valid passport, a typo in the personal details, and confusing the ordinary tourist visa with the US multiple-entry category. Use only the official eservices.immigration.go.tz portal and avoid paid intermediaries.
