Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a visa for Tanzania?
Yes, but it's painless. With an ordinary (burgundy) Turkish passport you get a visa on arrival and can stay up to 90 days. Service, special and diplomatic passport holders are in the same boat: visa on arrival, 90 days max across the board.
How do I get a Tanzania visa?
Two routes. Either settle it at the arrivals visa desk when you land, or apply ahead through the official portal at eservices.immigration.go.tz and travel with your e-visa in hand. Doing it online spares you the queue, especially in high season. Since processing times shift with demand, double-check the current details on the official site before you go.
Which passport gets into Tanzania visa-free?
Don't count on the passport color alone getting you a free pass: Tanzania runs the visa-on-arrival / e-visa system for every Turkish passport. Burgundy, green, grey or black, you still pick up your visa at entry, with a stay of up to 90 days in each case.
