Do I need a visa for Tanzania from South Korea?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
South Korean nationals must obtain an electronic visa (e-Visa) before travelling to Tanzania; some entry points may also issue a visa on arrival.
From Seoul, Busan or Incheon, South Korean travellers arrange their Tanzania trip online. The application is lodged on the official Tanzania Immigration portal (eservices.immigration.go.tz) rather than at a consulate. The approved authorisation is shown at boarding and again on arrival, for example in Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A South Korean passport does not grant visa-free entry to Tanzania: an electronic visa must be obtained before travel. It covers a short tourist stay whose validity is set by the Tanzanian authorities. Depending on the entry point a visa on arrival may be available, but applying online in advance remains recommended.
How and where to apply
Applications are made online at eservices.immigration.go.tz, from South Korea or elsewhere. You create an account, enter your itinerary, upload the requested documents and pay electronically. No in-person appointment is needed; the authorisation then arrives digitally and must be printed or available on screen.
Documents and fees
Prepare a South Korean passport valid for at least six months beyond entry, a passport photo, proof of accommodation and a return or onward ticket. The indicative fee for the ordinary tourist visa is about USD 50, but the exact amount, document list and payment methods should be confirmed on the official portal before paying.
Processing and tips
Processing time varies, so submit several working days before your flight to absorb any delay. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be required, in particular if you transit a risk area, so confirm health requirements in advance. Keep a copy of the authorisation and your bookings throughout the trip.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake is relying on visa on arrival without confirming it applies to your situation, risking denied boarding. Avoid third-party sites that add surcharges — only the official Tanzania Immigration portal is authoritative. Finally, make sure the name and passport number you enter match the document presented at the border exactly.
