Do Filipino citizens need a visa for Tanzania?

Yes. Filipino citizens need a valid passport and a Tanzania evisa, also known as an e-Visa before traveling to Tanzania. The Tanzanian government implemented this new visa in 2018, allowing most travelers to apply online for visa services after meeting certain entry conditions. Filipinos are among those qualified for the Tanzania e-visa.

Tanzania visa for Filipino citizens are valid for stays of up to 90 days for tourism and business purposes. A transit visa for Sri Lanka is valid for stays no longer than 7 days and is meant for short layover-style trips.

The online visa for visitors to Tanzania may be purchased in approximately three working days. Travelers only need to ensure that they have the required documentation to enter Tanzania upon arrival and that all criteria are satisfied.

Tanzania e visas are not valid for residence or employment visas. Filipino people intending to reside and work in Tanzania must apply at a Tanzania Lankan Embassy or Consulate.

Holders of diplomatic, official, or service passports issued in Philippine may enter Tanzania without a visa.
