It is no longer possible to apply for a standard visa at the embassy; all applicants must now obtain an eVisa (electronic visa) online. The typical entry visa is valid for three months from the specified arrival date and allows for a stay of up to 30 days. The business eVisa is issued for a single entry only and cannot be used for re-entry once the holder has left the country.
Starting from October 1, 2024, all visitors to Zanzibar (excluding residents with a Tanzanian residence permit) are required to purchase mandatory travel insurance through the Zanzibar Insurance Corporation (ZIC) for the duration of their stay, which can be up to 90 days.
This insurance must be obtained exclusively from ZIC, as other international travel insurance policies will not be accepted. For more details, please visit the ZIC website.
It is obligatory to have a visa to enter Tanzania unless you are from one of a few countries which are visa exempt:
With effect from 1 October 2024, all visitors to Zanzibar (excluding residents) must have mandatory Inbound Travel Insurance from the Zanzibar Insurance Corporation (ZIC) for the duration of their stay (up to 92 days).
You can only buy this insurance from ZIC. Other international travel insurance policies will not be accepted. Policies will be available to buy from 1 September 2024.
If you require assistance in booking the mandatory insurance, Global Visa Lab is happy to help. Please feel free to contact us for support.
Please note that entry may be refused if you do not have the correct insurance.
