Processing time
On arrival
Citizens of Greece need a visa to enter Tanzania, issued on arrival at the airport or border counter. The observed official price is 50 USD, preferably paid in cash; the conditions should be confirmed with an official source.
Safari, mountain climbing or a beach stay: whatever the itinerary, Greek travelers obtain their visa for Tanzania once there, at the arrival counter. This guide explains how the process works, which documents to keep at hand and why it is best to check the conditions before leaving Greece.

Yes. Holders of a Greek passport need a visa for Tanzania, and this visa is obtained on arrival from immigration officers. There is therefore no file to send before departure. To find out the length of stay granted and any specific conditions, contact the Tanzanian embassy responsible for Greece.
50 USD
Official government fee only. Providers and visa centres add their own service charge on top.
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:
Treat this as the common core, not the official list, confirm it with the consular authorities of Tanzania before you apply.
Keep together your valid Greek passport, your return or onward ticket and your accommodation confirmation. The observed official price is 50 USD; it is best to have the exact amount in cash, in US dollars, and to ask before departure about other accepted payment methods. Check the minimum passport validity with the embassy.
As soon as you leave the plane or reach the border post, look for the visa desk. There you fill in the form, hand over your passport and pay the fee; once the visa is granted, check the details on it before moving on. Keep the proof of payment with your passport throughout your stay.
A visa on arrival for Tanzania is issued at the border post itself, at a counter placed before immigration control.
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.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Greece 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.
Pick your nationality to see the rule
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.
The observed processing time is 10 days; before leaving, have the Tanzanian embassy confirm the current arrangements for Greek travelers, to avoid any surprise on arrival. If you are connecting to a domestic flight or a transfer to a park, allow a margin for the time spent at the visa desk.



Passport validity, border checks, minors, overstays: the rules common to every trip are gathered on our travel tips page. Formalities before you leave
Leaving without US dollars in cash or counting on an airport cash machine can delay payment. Other mistakes include a passport close to its expiry date, no proof of return travel, or trusting unofficial websites that charge for “assistance” with a visa paid at the counter. Always check the conditions with an official source.
