Do Asia-Pacific citizens need a visa for Tanzania?

Many Asia-Pacific citizens need a Tanzania visa or eVisa before entering Tanzania, including Zanzibar. Requirements can vary by passport nationality, travel purpose, visa type, and whether the trip is for tourism, business, transit, or frequent visits.

Travelers from the Asia-Pacific region commonly visit Tanzania for Serengeti safaris, Zanzibar holidays, Kilimanjaro climbs, family trips, business meetings, conferences, and investment visits. The correct visa type depends on your purpose of travel.
