Do I need a bank statement for a Tanzania tourist visa?

A bank statement is not always required for a Tanzania tourist visa, but it may be requested by the visa officer. If you are asked to provide a bank statement, you should provide one that shows that you have enough money to support yourself during your stay in Tanzania. The amount of money required will vary depending on the length of your stay.

According to the Tanzanian government website, a bank statement is not necessary for a tourist visa in Tanzania, but it is "highly recommended." This implies that even if a bank statement is not specified as a necessary document, the immigration officer may nevertheless request one.

If you are applying for a Tanzania tourist visa, I recommend that you bring a bank statement to the interview. This will demonstrate to the visa officer that you have sufficient funds to sustain yourself throughout your stay in Tanzania and are a serious tourist.
