Do I need a visa for Tanzania from Mexico?

Discover visa requirements for your trip

In short

Mexican travelers need a visa for Tanzania; it is applied for online (e-Visa) on the official immigration portal before departure.

A Mexican national cannot enter Tanzania without a visa. Tanzania issues an electronic visa applied for at eservices.immigration.go.tz; some entry points may also offer a visa on arrival. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months.

Do you need a visa?

Yes. For a tourist stay, a Mexican citizen must hold a valid Tanzanian visa on arrival. The application is best made online before travel through the official Tanzanian immigration portal.

How and where to apply

File the e-Visa at eservices.immigration.go.tz: create an account, complete the form, upload a photo and passport page and pay online. The approved e-Visa arrives by email and is shown printed on arrival. Note that Zanzibar applies the same immigration rules as mainland Tanzania.

Documents and fees

Prepare a passport valid 6 months, a digital photo, proof of accommodation, a return ticket and a yellow-fever certificate if arriving from a risk country. The indicated fee is around US$50 for an ordinary tourist visa, but confirm it on the official portal before paying.

Processing and tips

Apply several days before departure, as processing can vary by season. Keep the e-Visa both digitally and on paper. Check the exact validity granted so you do not overstay the authorized period.

Common mistakes

Do not rely automatically on visa on arrival: the e-Visa arranged in advance avoids queues and refusals. Avoid third-party sites that mimic the official portal and overcharge. Finally, do not overlook the yellow-fever certificate, checked depending on your origin.
