2.Visa Tanzania

International travelers must obtain a visa for entry into Tanzania, which is available at major entry points or online through the eVisa portal. Single-entry visas are valid for up to 90 days, while multiple-entry visas may be available for certain nationalities. Requirements include a valid passport, a completed application form, passport-sized photos, and a visa fee. Some nationalities, like EAC citizens, are exempt.
