Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes, Belgian citizens need a tourist visa for Tanzania. The easiest route is the e-Visa applied for online before departure via the official portal eservices.immigration.go.tz; the fee indicated is USD 50.
Belgian travellers heading to Tanzania for tourism must obtain a visa before their trip. The recommended path is the electronic e-Visa, applied for online through the official Tanzanian immigration portal eservices.immigration.go.tz. Depending on the entry point, a visa on arrival may also be offered, but the e-Visa remains the most predictable option.
Do you need a visa for Tanzania?
Yes. A Belgian passport does not allow visa-free entry to Tanzania for tourism. You must obtain a tourist visa, usually the e-Visa requested in advance online. Some entry points may also issue a visa on arrival, but it is best to check beforehand that your airport or land border accepts it.
How and where to apply
The recommended route for a Belgian citizen is to go to the official portal at https://eservices.immigration.go.tz, create an account, complete the form, upload a photo and the passport bio page, then pay the fee online. You then receive the e-Visa by email, to print and present on arrival. Use only the official government portal.
Documents and fees
Bring a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your entry date, with blank pages for the stamp. A recent digital passport photo, your itinerary and proof of accommodation may be requested. The fee indicated for the ordinary tourist visa is USD 50, payable online; confirm the current amount on the official portal eservices.immigration.go.tz before paying.
Processing and practical tips
Apply for your e-Visa several days before departure, as the exact processing time is not guaranteed. Print your e-Visa and keep a backup digital copy. Also check with the official source for health requirements, notably a yellow fever vaccination certificate if arriving from a risk country or transiting via the Zanzibar archipelago.
Common mistakes
Never use an unofficial intermediary site: only eservices.immigration.go.tz is the government portal, and copycat sites charge inflated fees. Do not assume every border issues a visa on arrival: confirm your entry point. Finally, check your passport validity (at least 6 months) before booking, as a non-compliant document can be refused at boarding.
