India to Tanzania visa requirements
Indian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Tanzania. Apply online for the Ordinary (single-entry) eVisa before travel via the official portal visa.immigration.go.tz. It costs USD 50, permits a stay of up to 90 days, and is normally issued within a few days (allow up to 10). A holder of an ordinary Indian passport must obtain a visa to enter the United Republic of Tanzania (including Zanzibar) for tourism. The recommended and most reliable route is the official electronic visa (eVisa) applied for in advance at visa.immigration.go.tz. The standard tourist product is the Ordinary Visa, a single-entry visa costing USD 50, valid for entry within a set window and allowing a stay of up to 90 days. Applicants upload their passport bio-data page, a passport photo and a return ticket, and pay online by card. Official processing is stated as within 10 days, though approvals frequently arrive in 1-5 business days. While Tanzania technically still offers visa on arrival at major entry points for many nationalities (India is on the eligible list), authorities and the immigration department strongly recommend applying online beforehand to avoid delays or refusals at the border. India is not a yellow-fever endemic country, so travelers arriving directly from India do not require a yellow fever certificate for mainland Tanzania; however, the certificate is required if you have transited a yellow-fever endemic country, and Zanzibar requires it from anyone arriving from mainland Tanzania. Passports must be valid at least six months. Tanzania is in East Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen/ETIAS rules do not apply.
