Do I need a visa for Tanzania from Denmark?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Danish travellers need an electronic visa (e-Visa) for Tanzania, with the quoted tourist fee of 50 USD. It is applied for online before departure.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
