South Korea to Tanzania visa requirements

South Korean ordinary passport holders need a visa for Tanzania. The standard route is the official online eVisa (Ordinary/Single-Entry Tourist Visa), which costs USD 50 and must be obtained before travel. Visa-on-arrival was officially phased out on 30 January 2025, so apply online in advance. A South Korea (KR) ordinary passport holder traveling to Tanzania for tourism requires a visa; there is no visa-free channel for ordinary passports (only diplomatic/service/official passport holders are visa-exempt). The recommended and now-standard route is Tanzania's official electronic visa (eVisa) applied for at visa.immigration.go.tz before departure. The Ordinary Visa (single entry) for tourism costs USD 50, permits a stay of up to 90 days, and is generally valid for entry within 3 months of issue. A multiple-entry visa is available for USD 100. As of 30 January 2025, Tanzania officially phased out visa-on-arrival, making the eVisa the de facto requirement; travelers should apply at least two weeks before departure as processing can take up to 10-15 business days. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months. The Tanzanian Embassy in Seoul confirms South Korea is not on any special referral/clearance list, so standard processing applies. This guide reflects the position verified as of 2026-05-30.
