Certain entry points may also issue a visa on arrival for eligible visitors. Confirm the current fee, validity, and requirements on the official Tanzanian source before booking.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Turkish citizens require a visa for Tanzania, most commonly the electronic visa obtained online in advance. A visa on arrival may be offered at some airports and borders, but applying online beforehand is the reliable route. Your Turkish passport should be valid for at least six months beyond your entry date.
How and where to apply
Applications are made online at the official immigration portal, eservices.immigration.go.tz, where you create an account, complete the tourist visa form, and upload your documents. You then pay online and receive the approved e-Visa by email to print. Note that mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar share this system, so select the correct entry details for your itinerary.
Documents and fees
You typically need a passport valid six months or more, a passport photo, a scan of the passport bio page, proof of accommodation, and a return or onward ticket. The tourist visa fee is around USD 50, but confirm the exact amount and payment method on the official portal, as fees can change. Yellow fever vaccination proof may be required if you arrive from or transit a risk country, so carry your certificate.
Processing and tips
Electronic visa processing commonly takes several business days, but times are not guaranteed, so apply well ahead of departure. Enter your details exactly as they appear in your passport and keep the approval and payment receipt. Print your e-Visa, as you may be asked to show it on arrival.
Common mistakes
Common errors include relying on visa on arrival without a backup, applying too late, and mismatching passport details. Use only the official immigration portal and avoid third-party sites that add charges. If you plan to visit Zanzibar, make sure your visa and travel details cover that leg of the trip.
