Do you need a visa?
Yes. An Indian citizen must hold a visa before entering Tanzania. The application is made in advance through the official e-Visa; some entry points may also grant a visa on arrival, but the e-Visa secured beforehand remains the recommended route to avoid surprises.
How and where to apply
The application is made online at eservices.immigration.go.tz, the official portal of the Tanzanian immigration service. The traveller creates an account, fills in the form, uploads the documents and pays online. No consulate visit is needed for a standard tourist stay.
Documents and fees
Have ready a passport valid for six months, a passport photo, an accommodation address, a return ticket and, where applicable, a yellow-fever certificate if arriving from a risk area. The ordinary tourist visa costs USD 50; confirm the exact fee and accepted payment methods on the official portal.
Processing and tips
Submit the application at least one to two weeks before departure, as processing time is not guaranteed. Pay only on the official portal and keep the payment receipt. Print the approved e-Visa to present at immigration on arrival.
Common mistakes
Common errors: relying on a visa on arrival with no backup, entering an incorrect passport number, or uploading a non-compliant photo. Re-read every field before paying and check that the name matches the passport exactly.
