Most nationalities can get a visa for Tanzania upon arrival for a fee of approximately 50 US $ (subject to change), which is valid for 3 months. However, it is highly recommendable to apply for a visa at the Tanzanian embassy before departure, as rules and regulations change without warning. Visas upon arrival can be obtained at the airports of Dar-es-Salaam, Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar and Namanga boarder crossing point (between Tanzania and Kenya).
Citizens of the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Ireland and other EU nationals except Malta and Cyprus get a visa upon arrival and must have a passport that is valid for 6 months from the date of entry.
