Philippines to Tanzania visa requirements

Philippine (ordinary) passport holders need a visa for Tanzania. The recommended route is the Tanzania eVisa: an Ordinary single-entry tourist visa costing USD 50, allowing a stay of up to 90 days, applied for online before travel. Visa on arrival is also available at major airports, but the eVisa is safer and faster on entry. As of 2026, Philippines passport holders are NOT exempt from Tanzanian visa requirements for tourism. Filipinos are eligible for the Tanzania eVisa (the recommended channel) and for visa on arrival at major ports of entry, since the Philippines is not on Tanzania's referral/restricted-nationality list. The standard tourist product is the Ordinary Visa: single entry, USD 50, valid up to 90 days with a stay of up to 90 days. The eVisa is applied for at the official portal (visa.immigration.go.tz), with documents (passport bio page, photo, accommodation/itinerary details) and online card payment. Official processing is stated as within 10 days, though travelers should allow up to 15 business days. US nationals are a special case requiring the USD 100 multiple-entry visa, but Filipinos use the standard USD 50 ordinary visa. Passport must be valid at least 6 months with blank pages. Tanzania is in East Africa and has no connection to the Schengen area or ETIAS.

Filipino citizens are eligible to apply online for the Tanzania eVisa, which is the most reliable and convenient option.
High
/03
Not on the referral-visa list
