Discover visa requirements for your trip
Greek nationals need an e-Visa for Tanzania, applied for online before departure through the official portal. The indicative fee is around USD 50, to be confirmed on that source.
Travelling from Athens, Thessaloniki or Heraklion, Greek citizens arrange their trip to Tanzania, Zanzibar included, online. They request a tourist e-Visa through the official eservices.immigration.go.tz portal rather than visiting an embassy. The application, payment and document upload are all completed remotely before the flight.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Greek travellers must hold an e-Visa to enter Tanzania for tourism, including Zanzibar. This electronic visa is applied for online before the trip, and the passport must stay valid for at least six months. The exact stay length and number of entries are set out on the official portal.
How and where to apply
From Greece, submit your application on the Tanzanian immigration e-services portal (eservices.immigration.go.tz) before departure. The form, payment and document upload are all done online, with no consular appointment. You receive the approved visa by email, to print or keep on your phone.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, an ID photo, an accommodation address and a return or onward ticket. The indicative fee for the ordinary tourist visa is around USD 50; confirm the exact amount and accepted payment method on the official portal before submitting.
Processing and tips
Processing time depends on the Tanzanian authorities and is not confirmed here, so apply several days before departure. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate is often required if you arrive from a risk country, so check the health rules. Keep the approved visa, printed or digital, for the checks at the airport.
Common mistakes
Common errors are an insufficiently valid passport, a typo in the personal details, or confusing the ordinary tourist visa with the multiple-entry category reserved for certain nationalities. Use only the official portal and avoid resellers that add surcharges.
