Tanzania requires a visa from Finnish travellers. The simplest route is the electronic visa, applied for online on the Tanzanian immigration portal. The visa should be approved before arrival, even though some border posts still issue a visa on arrival.
Do you need a visa?
Yes: a Finnish citizen cannot enter Tanzania without a visa. For tourism, the single-entry e-visa is the recommended route. Check the validity and permitted length of stay on the official portal before booking.
How and where to apply
The application is made online at eservices.immigration.go.tz. The Finnish applicant creates an account, fills in the form and uploads passport, photo and travel documents. The decision is notified by email.
Documents and fees
Have a passport valid for at least 6 months, an ID photo, your return ticket and an accommodation booking ready. According to the available data the single-entry tourist visa costs USD 50; confirm the exact rate on the official portal and pay online only.
Processing and tips
Apply several days before departure, as processing time is not guaranteed. Print the approved electronic visa. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is often required if you arrive from a risk country or transit via Zanzibar.
Common mistakes
Do not rely automatically on visa on arrival: prefer the approved e-visa. Do not enter details that differ from your passport. Use only the official Tanzanian immigration portal, never an unaccredited intermediary.
