Please refer to the information below regarding travel formalities to Tanzania for United States citizens. U.S. passport holders are required to obtain a visa to enter Tanzania, including for tourism and short-term stays. Immigration matters are overseen by the Tanzania Immigration Services Department, and official information on entry requirements is available at https://www.immigration.go.tz/ (https://www.immigration.go.tz/). U.S. citizens may obtain a visa in advance through the official Tanzanian eVisa system or upon arrival (Visa on Arrival) at designated international entry points. Applications for an electronic visa must be submitted exclusively through the official government portal: https://visa.immigration.go.tz/ (https://visa.immigration.go.tz/).
A U.S. passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the intended date of departure from Tanzania and must contain at least one blank page for immigration stamps. Tourist visas issued to U.S. citizens generally allow a maximum stay of up to 90 days. Upon arrival, immigration authorities may require proof of onward or return travel, confirmation of accommodation, and evidence of sufficient financial means to cover the duration of the stay. Travelers are also strongly advised to hold comprehensive travel and health insurance valid for the entire visit.
From a health perspective, no vaccinations are mandatory for entry when traveling directly from the United States. However, a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if arriving from, or transiting through, a country where yellow fever is endemic. Travelers should ensure routine vaccinations are up to date and seek medical advice prior to departure. Compliance with local laws, immigration regulations, and identity checks is mandatory throughout the stay, as Tanzanian authorities strictly enforce entry conditions and permitted lengths of stay.
