Do you need a visa?
Yes. Vietnamese passport holders must obtain a visa before travelling to Tanzania. The recommended channel is the tourist e-Visa applied for online in advance; a visa on arrival may exist at some entry points, but the pre-arranged e-Visa avoids queues and uncertainty.
How and where to apply
The application is made on the official portal eservices.immigration.go.tz. You create an account, complete the form, upload your passport, a photo and supporting documents, then pay the fee online. The approved visa is delivered by email and should be printed for entry.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Vietnamese passport valid for at least 6 months, a passport photo, proof of accommodation and a return ticket. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate is often required, especially if transiting a risk country. The ordinary tourist visa costs around USD 50; confirm the exact amount and payment methods on the official portal.
Processing and tips
Submit your application several weeks before departure, as processing can take time and is not guaranteed. Check that your details match your passport exactly and print the approved visa. Always confirm the current entry requirements on the official site before you travel.
Common mistakes
Common errors are a passport too close to expiry, a missing yellow-fever certificate, and a non-compliant photo. Do not rely automatically on a visa on arrival: prefer the pre-arranged e-Visa and use only the official Tanzanian government portal.
