Norwegian travellers heading to Tanzania — whether to Zanzibar, the northern parks or Dar es Salaam — must obtain a visa in advance. Tanzania offers a tourist e-Visa applied for online, avoiding any embassy visit. The application goes through the official Tanzanian immigration portal.
Do you need a visa?
A visa is mandatory for Norwegian nationals wishing to visit Tanzania. The recommended route is the electronic tourist visa (e-Visa), to be requested before travel. The Norwegian passport must remain valid for at least six months after entry.
How and where to apply
The e-Visa application is made online on the official portal eservices.immigration.go.tz. The applicant creates an account from Norway, fills in the form and uploads supporting documents. Some entry points may still offer a visa on arrival, but the prior e-Visa avoids airport queues.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Norwegian passport valid for six months, a passport photo, your return ticket and proof of accommodation. The stated tourist e-Visa fee is about USD 50; confirm the exact amount and payment method on the official portal before submitting. Payment is made by card at the point of submission.
Processing and tips
Submit your application several days before departure, as processing can take time. Download and print the approved e-Visa received by e-mail to present at boarding and on arrival. A yellow fever vaccination certificate may be required if you arrive from an at-risk country.
Common mistakes
Do not rely solely on a visa on arrival: the prior e-Visa is safer and faster. Beware of sites imitating the official portal and charging extra fees. Finally, check that the details entered match your passport exactly, as any discrepancy can block entry.
