Do you need a visa?
Yes. Nigerian nationals cannot enter Tanzania without a visa for a tourist stay. The e-Visa requested online before departure is the recommended option; a visa on arrival may exist at some entry points, but it is better not to rely on it.
How and where to apply
The Nigerian applicant completes the form on Tanzania's official e-Visa portal (eservices.immigration.go.tz), uploads the required documents, and pays the fee online. The approval received electronically must be printed or saved to show on arrival. Apply from Nigeria, before the trip.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Nigerian passport valid at least six months, a photo, proof of accommodation, and a return ticket. Our data indicates a fee of about 50 USD; the exact amount and validity should nevertheless be confirmed on the official portal before paying.
Processing and tips
Submit your e-Visa request several working days before departure to absorb the processing time. Verify that the details entered match the passport exactly. A yellow fever certificate is usually required, particularly when arriving from Nigeria, so get vaccinated in advance.
Common mistakes
Common pitfalls: relying only on visa on arrival, forgetting the often-required yellow fever certificate, or a passport with insufficient validity. Do not assume the exact fee: it must be confirmed on the official source. An error in the name or passport number can invalidate the e-Visa.
