Do you need a visa?
Yes. Philippine citizens must hold a visa to enter Tanzania, including for tourism. The recommended route is the e-Visa obtained before departure; a visa on arrival may exist at some entry points, but the e-Visa avoids queues and uncertainty.
How and where to apply
Apply online on the official portal eservices.immigration.go.tz from the Philippines, before you leave. Create an account, choose the ordinary tourist visa, enter your itinerary and upload the requested documents. The approved e-Visa is delivered electronically and must be shown on arrival.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Philippine passport valid for at least six months, a photo, proof of accommodation and a return ticket. The reference data indicates an ordinary tourist visa at USD 50; the exact amount and payment method are confirmed on the official portal at the time of application.
Processing and tips
Apply several working days before departure, as processing can take time. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate is required if you arrive from a risk country, so check your situation. If you visit Zanzibar, check any specific insurance or entry formalities.
Common mistakes
Common errors are relying on a visa on arrival with no fallback, overlooking the yellow-fever certificate required depending on origin, or using an intermediary site instead of the official portal. Check the passport validity before paying.
