Japan to Tanzania visa requirements

Japanese ordinary passport holders need a visa for Tanzania. The recommended route is the Ordinary (single-entry tourist) eVisa, applied for online before travel at the official portal visa.immigration.go.tz. The fee is USD 50, it allows a stay of up to 90 days, and processing takes up to 10 days. Tanzania is not visa-free for Japanese citizens. Japan is not on Tanzania's visa-exemption list, so a tourist visa is required. Since the introduction and strong promotion of the online platform, the recommended and most reliable method is the eVisa (Ordinary Visa), obtained in advance at the official Tanzania Immigration Department portal at visa.immigration.go.tz. The Ordinary Visa costs USD 50, is single-entry, permits a stay of up to 90 days, and is valid for up to 90 days. Authorities advise applying online before departure rather than relying on processing at entry points; any invoice above USD 50 for an Ordinary Visa indicates an unofficial agent or link. Required documents include the passport biographic data page (passport valid at least six months with blank pages), a return/onward ticket, a recent color photograph (45mm x 35mm, JPG, max 500KB), and the visa fee. The visa covers both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. Processing is stated as up to 10 days, so travelers should apply at least two to three weeks before departure.
