Vietnam to Tanzania visa requirements

Vietnamese ordinary passport holders need a visa for Tanzania. The recommended route is the Tanzania eVisa (Ordinary Visa), applied for online before travel at visa.immigration.go.tz, costing USD 50 for a single-entry tourist stay of up to 90 days. Tanzania is in East Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply. Vietnam is not on Tanzania's visa-exempt list, so Vietnamese ordinary passport holders require a visa for tourism. Tanzania operates an electronic visa (eVisa) system introduced in 2018, and the official immigration service strongly recommends applying online in advance rather than relying on visa on arrival. For tourism, leisure or family visits, Vietnamese travelers apply for the Ordinary Visa, which is single-entry, costs USD 50, permits a stay of up to 90 days, and is processed within about 10 business days. Applicants need a passport valid at least 6 months with a blank page, a recent color photo, a return ticket and proof of accommodation. While some nationalities can still obtain a visa on arrival at major entry points (Julius Nyerere International, Kilimanjaro International, Zanzibar, and land borders), official guidance is to secure the eVisa beforehand to avoid delays and refusal risk. Applicants should use only the official portal (visa.immigration.go.tz) and beware of third-party sites charging service markups.
