Discover visa requirements for your trip
Tanzanian nationals need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit the Czech Republic as tourists. The standard fee is €90 for an adult and processing usually takes 15 to 45 days.
The Czech Republic is part of the Schengen area, so a tourist stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period requires a uniform visa. Tanzanian travellers apply before departure at the Czech consulate responsible for Tanzania, or at its outsourcing partner. The Czech Republic must be your main destination or your first point of entry into Schengen. Always confirm the latest requirements with the official source.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Tanzanian passport holders have no visa exemption for the Schengen area and must obtain a Type C short-stay visa before travelling. It allows a tourist stay of no more than 90 days within any rolling 180-day period.
How and where to apply
File your application at the Czech consulate covering Tanzania or, where applicable, its outsourcing partner (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact). Book an appointment, attend in person to give biometrics (fingerprints and photo) and submit a complete file. If the Czech Republic is not your only destination, it must be where you spend the most time or your entry point.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport, the signed application form, a compliant photo, travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000, proof of accommodation, a return ticket, and evidence of funds and purpose. The visa fee is normally €90 for an adult, with a reduced rate for children. Confirm the exact amount with the consulate.
Processing and tips
Processing typically runs 15 to 45 days. You may lodge your application up to six months before travel and no later than 15 days before departure. Apply early, especially in peak season, as extra checks can extend the timeline.
Common mistakes
The most common refusals stem from inadequate insurance, unproven funds, or applying to the wrong Schengen country when the Czech Republic was not the main destination. Do not miss your biometrics appointment, and check whether a yellow-fever vaccination certificate is required for your itinerary from Tanzania.
