Visas

All British passport holders need a tourist or business visa to enter Tanzania. You should get one from the Tanzanian High Commission before you travel

It is possible to get a tourist or business visa for a single entry on arrival at main ports of entry to Tanzania, but this is subject to the fulfilment of all immigration requirements. You may be asked to provide proof of your return journey. You won’t be able to get a multiple entry visa on arrival. For further information about visas visit the Tanzanian Ministry of Home Affairs website.

If you are planning to work or volunteer, you will need a valid work permit. Your employer or volunteer organisation should arrange this before you travel.

From December 2015, Carrying on Temporary Assignment (CTA) passes are no longer valid. If you’re working on a short term assignment you must apply to the Ministry of Labour and Employment for a short term work permit. The application should be submitted prior to entering the country.

If you overstay the validity of your visa or permit you can be arrested, detained and fined before being deported. Reports made to the British High Commission by BAME British passport holders have indicated that they are experiencing additional levels of harassment from immigration officials. In these circumstances, you should stay calm and request that the Consular section of the British High Commission is immediately informed.

Passport validity

Your passport should be valid for a minimum period of 6 months from the date of your visa application.

UK Emergency Travel Documents

UK Emergency Travel Documents, with a minimum of six months’ validity, are accepted for entry, airside transit and exit from Tanzania.

Yellow fever certificate requirements

Check whether you need a yellow fever certificate by visiting the National Travel Health Network and Centre’s TravelHealthPro website.

Although Tanzania is not listed as a Yellow Fever endemic country, Zanzibar immigration officials may ask to see Yellow Fever vaccination certificates or exemption certificates upon arrival from the Tanzania mainland.

It is important to note that Tanzania has recently changed its stance on Yellow Fever vaccinations. Yellow fever vaccination is required for all travelers from yellow fever endemic countries/regions.

We advise that you get one regardless.

Tanzania has been spared the internal strife that has blighted many African states.

Domestic stability has not translated into economic prosperity for Tanzanians, however. Many of its people live below the World Bank poverty line, although the country has had some success in wooing donors and investors.

Tanzania is home to two renowned tourism destinations – Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, and wildlife-rich national parks such as the Serengeti – but has become a target for poachers.

Conservationists have warned that the entire elephant population could die out by the end of the decade if they continue to be killed for their ivory at the current rate.
