Do I need a visa for Tanzania from Indonesia?

Discover visa requirements for your trip

In short

Indonesian nationals need an e-Visa for Tanzania, applied for online before departure through the official immigration portal. The indicative fee is around USD 50, to be confirmed on that source.

This guide is for Indonesian citizens planning a trip to Tanzania, including Zanzibar. Tanzania issues an electronic visa (e-Visa) through its national immigration e-services portal, to be obtained from Indonesia before boarding. Your passport must be valid for at least six months, and the final fee should be confirmed on the official source.

Do you need a visa?

Yes: Indonesian travellers need an e-Visa to enter Tanzania for tourism, Zanzibar included. This electronic visa is applied for online before the trip. The Indonesian passport must be valid for at least six months on the date of entry.

How and where to apply

Apply from Indonesia on the official Tanzanian immigration e-services portal (eservices.immigration.go.tz) before departure. The form, document upload and payment are all completed online. Some entry points may also offer a visa on arrival, but the pre-arranged e-Visa remains recommended.

Documents and fees

Prepare an Indonesian passport valid for at least six months, an ID photo, an accommodation address in Tanzania and a return or onward ticket. The indicative fee for the ordinary tourist visa is around USD 50; confirm the exact amount and payment method on the eservices.immigration.go.tz portal.

Processing and tips

Processing time depends on the Tanzanian authorities and is not confirmed here — apply several days before departure. Keep the approved e-Visa (printout or digital version) for check-in and border control. Proof of yellow-fever vaccination may be required depending on your itinerary — check this point on the official source.

Common mistakes

Common errors are an insufficiently valid passport, a typo in the surname and given names, and applying too close to the departure date. Use only the official eservices.immigration.go.tz portal and be wary of paid intermediaries that add extra charges.
