Do I need a visa for Tanzania from Hungary?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes, Hungarian nationals need a visa for Tanzania. The recommended route is the tourist e-Visa, applied for online before departure.
Tanzania does not grant visa-free entry to Hungarian travellers. For a holiday, a Hungarian passport holder should obtain an e-Visa through Tanzania's official immigration portal. A visa on arrival is available at some entry points, but the e-Visa avoids airport queues and confirms admissibility in advance.
Do you need a visa?
A Hungarian citizen travelling to Tanzania must hold a visa before or on arrival. The ordinary tourist visa is the standard choice for leisure trips (safaris, Zanzibar, Kilimanjaro). The e-Visa can be requested from Hungary online, making it the preferred channel. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond entry.
How and where to apply
Applications are made exclusively online on Tanzania's official immigration services portal (eservices.immigration.go.tz). The Hungarian applicant creates an account, completes the form, uploads supporting documents and pays the fee by card. Once approved, the electronic visa is emailed and shown on arrival. Visa on arrival at Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar airports remains a fallback.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Hungarian passport valid 6 months beyond the stay, a recent passport photo, proof of accommodation or itinerary, and a return ticket. The listed tourist visa fee is around 50 USD; confirm the exact amount when paying on the official portal, as fees can change. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be required if you transit through a risk country.
Processing and tips
Because processing time is not guaranteed, submit your e-Visa request at least two to three weeks before departure. Check that the name and passport number entered exactly match your document. Print the approval and keep a digital copy. Review health requirements (yellow fever) based on your transit route.
Common mistakes
Avoid intermediary sites that mimic the official portal — use only eservices.immigration.go.tz. Do not travel with a passport valid for less than 6 months. Do not rely blindly on visa on arrival, whose availability can vary. Finally, do not overlook proof of accommodation and a return ticket, which are frequently checked.
