Discover visa requirements for your trip
Polish travellers need an e-Visa for Tanzania, applied for online before departure; the single-entry tourist visa costs about USD 50. Some entry points may also offer a visa on arrival.
Tanzania issues an electronic visa that Polish citizens complete before travelling on the official immigration portal. The file is processed remotely and approval is linked to your passport. Budget a fee in the region of USD 50 for the standard tourist visa, to be confirmed at payment.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Polish nationals must obtain a visa before entering Tanzania, normally as an e-Visa applied for in advance. The tourist visa covers leisure stays; the same authorisation applies for both Zanzibar and the mainland. Confirm the category that matches your purpose of travel.
How and where to apply
Submit your application on the official portal at eservices.immigration.go.tz. Create an account, complete the form for the traveller departing from Poland, attach the documents and pay online. A visa on arrival may exist at some entry points, but the advance e-Visa avoids queues and the risk of refusal.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid at least six months, a photo, a return ticket and your accommodation details. The single-entry tourist visa is listed at about USD 50; the final amount and validity are confirmed on the official portal at payment.
Processing and tips
Processing times vary, so submit the file several days before departure. Keep the printed confirmation with your passport. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be required if you arrive from, or transit through, a risk country.
Common mistakes
The main errors are using intermediary sites instead of the official portal, uploading non-compliant photos or passport scans, and relying on visa on arrival without a backup plan. Check passport validity and name consistency before you pay.
