Argentina to Tanzania visa requirements

Argentine ordinary passport holders need a visa for Tanzania. The recommended route is the official eVisa (Ordinary/Tourist), single entry, USD 50, allowing up to 90 days. Visa on arrival also remains available, but the eVisa applied for in advance is the safer, official-preferred channel. Argentina is not on Tanzania's visa-exemption or visa-waiver list, so Argentine citizens require a visa to enter Tanzania for tourism. Tanzania operates an official electronic visa system (visa.immigration.go.tz) administered by the Tanzania Immigration Services Department. The standard Ordinary Visa for tourism is single entry, costs USD 50, is valid for use within up to 90 days, and permits a stay of up to 90 days. The Tanzanian government and the eVisa portal explicitly recommend using the online platform rather than relying on visa on arrival. Visa on arrival does still exist at major entry points (Julius Nyerere International Airport, Kilimanjaro International Airport, Abeid Amani Karume International Airport in Zanzibar, and main land borders) for eligible nationalities including Argentina, with the same USD 50 fee payable in cash (US dollars, 2009 series or newer). Note that US citizens are the main exception and must take a USD 100 multiple-entry visa. Tanzania is in East Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Conservatively, travelers should apply for the eVisa in advance: standard processing is officially within about 10 days, though some sources advise allowing up to 15 days. A passport valid at least six months beyond entry with at least one blank visa page and a return/onward ticket are required.
