172. Who can apply for an e-Visa?
Citizens of 160 countries, including the United States, can apply for a Tanzania e-Visa. The e-Visa is for people visiting Tanzania for business, treatment, recreation, sightseeing, visiting friends or relatives and so on.
Before you apply for a Tanzania visa, there are a few things you should know:
E-Visas are preferred: Travelers are recommended to apply for their Tanzania visa online using the e-Visa option, which is faster and more effective. The vast majority of Tanzanian visas are now handled and granted digitally.
No online renewal: If you wish to renew your Tanzania e-Visa or tourist visa, you must visit the Head Immigration Office in Dar es Salaam. Visa renewal services are currently not available online.
Multiple entry visas are necessary. US nationals visiting Tanzania for tourism must apply for the Multiple Entry Visa, not the Ordinary Visa. According to this condition, it may be quicker to leave Tanzania and return for a new three-month period than to file for a renewal.
173. What is the difference between an e-Visa and a traditional visa?
Tanzania traditional visa
A Tanzania traditional visa is the traditional way of obtaining permission to enter the country. The process usually involves submitting a paper application form and supporting documents to the Tanzania embassy or consulate in your country. This can be a difficult and time-consuming task, often requiring multiple trips to the embassy and long processing times.
An important difference between a regular Tanzania visa and an e-visa is the application process itself. For a regular visa, the applicant must fill out a paper form, provide paper copies of supporting documents, and submit the application by mail or in person. This can be a difficult process, especially for those who live far from the nearest Tanzania embassy or consulate.
Regular visas also take longer to process than e-visas. Obtaining a regular visa for Tanzania can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on various factors such as the number of applications received and the complexity of the case.
Tanzania e visa
Unlike the conventional visa process, Tanzania e-visa offers travellers a simpler and more efficient way to obtain a visa for India. As the name suggests, an e-visa is an electronic form of a regular visa that allows travellers to apply online without having to provide paper documents.
The process of applying for an e-visa is very simple. The applicant has to visit the official website of the Government of India or the website of a trusted travel agent (e.g. VisitsVisa) and fill out an online application form. The required information includes personal details, travel plans and supporting documents in digital format.
One of the main advantages of e-visas is the speed of processing. In most cases, e-visas are processed within a few business days, significantly reducing the time and effort required to obtain a visa. This quick turnaround time makes e-visas a popular choice for last-minute travellers or those with urgent travel plans.
Another notable feature of e-visas is their flexibility. Unlike regular visas that are usually issued for specific purposes such as tourism, business or medical treatment, e-visas cover a wide range of travel purposes. Whether you are coming to India for tourism, business meetings, conferences or medical treatment, you can apply for an e-visa that suits your specific needs.
The primary distinction between a Tanzania visa and Tanzania eVisa is the application procedure and speed of processing. eVisas provide increased convenience, flexibility, and efficiency, making them an excellent alternative for anyone wishing to visit Tanzania. Whether you apply for a conventional visa or an e-visa, you must fulfill all eligibility requirements and give accurate information to prevent issues during your stay.

From now on, you can get your Tanzania visa quickly and simply without having to send your passport to the Tanzania Embassy by applying for eVisa online.
