Israel to Tanzania visa requirements

Israeli passport holders need a visa for Tanzania. The recommended route is the online eVisa (Ordinary/Tourist Visa), which allows a stay of up to 90 days. Visa on arrival is also available at major airports and some land borders, but the eVisa is faster and avoids queues. Israeli ordinary passport holders cannot enter Tanzania visa-free. They must obtain a tourist visa, and the most reliable channel is the official Tanzania eVisa applied for online before travel at visa.immigration.go.tz. The standard Ordinary (Tourist) Visa is single-entry, valid for up to a 90-day stay, with a government fee of USD 50; the Tanzania Embassy in Tel Aviv indicates Israeli nationals are issued a multiple-entry visa valid one year (90 days per stay) for USD 100. Visa on arrival is offered to Israeli citizens at Julius Nyerere (Dar es Salaam), Kilimanjaro, and Abeid Amani Karume (Zanzibar) airports and at certain land borders, but the immigration authority recommends applying online in advance to avoid long queues. Israel is NOT on Tanzania's referral-visa list. Passport must be valid at least 6 months with a blank visa page, and travelers need a return/onward ticket and proof of accommodation. A yellow fever certificate is required only if arriving from or transiting a yellow-fever risk country. Tanzania is in East Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply.
