Our guide to the Tanzania visa from Denmark
Tanzania issues Danish nationals an electronic tourist visa that must be requested on its official immigration portal before travel. The ordinary tourist visa costs 50 USD under the current schedule. Your passport must stay valid for at least six months after entry.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Danish citizens need a visa to enter Tanzania, including for a short tourist stay. The recommended route is the e-Visa requested online; some entry points may still grant a visa on arrival, but it is safer not to depend on it. Prior approval avoids unpleasant surprises at the airport.
How much does a visa for Tanzania cost from Denmark?
50 USD
Official government fee only. Providers and visa centres add their own service charge on top.

What documents are required for a visa for Tanzania?
The exact list for Tanzania is not published in a source we can verify. Every short-stay tourist application is nonetheless built on the same core:
- Valid passport
- Completed application form
- Compliant passport photo
- Proof of accommodation
- Return or onward ticket
- Proof of sufficient funds
Treat this as the common core, not the official list, confirm it with the consular authorities of Tanzania before you apply.
Documents & fees
Prepare a passport valid six months beyond arrival, a passport photo, proof of accommodation and a return ticket. The tourist visa is charged at 50 USD; confirm this amount and the validity period on the official portal when you apply, as fees can be revised.
How to apply for a visa for Tanzania from Denmark
- 1Check before departure that your entry point actually issues the visa on arrival.
- 2Prepare the supporting documents and the fee, often required in cash.
- 3Complete the form at the dedicated counter after landing.
- 4Pay the fee and collect the sticker before immigration control.
How and where to apply
Applications are made on the government portal eservices.immigration.go.tz. The Danish applicant opens an account, completes the form, uploads documents and pays online. There is no obligation to attend a Tanzanian embassy, since the whole procedure is paperless.
Where do you apply for a visa for Tanzania from Denmark?
A visa on arrival for Tanzania is issued at the border post itself, at a counter placed before immigration control.
- Not every crossing issues it. Confirm that your specific airport or land border does before you book.
- The counter is reached after landing and before immigration. Follow the visa signs rather than the exit.
- The fee is usually paid on the spot, sometimes in cash and in a specific currency. Card is not guaranteed.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Denmark on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Denmark but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

How long does a visa for Tanzania take?
A visa on arrival is issued at the counter of the entry point when you cross the border: there is no processing time to plan for before departure.
Processing & tips
File your application at least two weeks before departure, as processing can take several working days. Keep both a printed and a digital copy of the approved e-Visa. For Zanzibar, compulsory travel insurance may apply on top: check the local requirements before you leave.
Before you fly, and at the border
Passport validity, border checks, minors, overstays: the rules common to every trip are gathered on our travel tips page. Formalities before you leave
Common mistakes
Relying solely on a visa on arrival is risky: queues can be long and conditions may change. Pay only on eservices.immigration.go.tz to avoid intermediaries that overcharge. Finally, a yellow-fever certificate may be required if you arrive from an at-risk country, so plan for that formality.
