Tanzania eVisa Requirements for Citizens of Germany

Germans can use the Tanzanian online visa for the following purposes:

• Tourism
• Leisure
• Visiting family or friends residing in the country

The main features of the Tanzania eVisa for citizens of Germany include the following:

• Single entry
• Grants a stay of up to a month (30 days)
• Valid for entry for 90 days (3 months)

If German travelers have not used their eVisa within 90 days of being issued, it is no longer valid, and they must request a new travel permit.

Applicants from Germany traveling abroad should consult the visa requirements for German passport holders. The main conditions to apply for the Tanzania eVisa are as follows:

• German passport valid for at least 6 months from their date of arrival in Tanzania
• Digital copy (scan) of passport bio page
• Recent passport-style photo of the German applicant
• Return/onward ticket (not mandatory)
• Credit/debit card to pay the eVisa processing fee
• Email address

Once approved, the eVisa is linked to the registered German passport. It is a unique online visa that cannot be transferred to another travel document. This is especially important for Germans with dual citizenship and those whose passport will expire within 6 months of their arrival date, and they will need to renew it before traveling.

German tourists will be required to share their travel plans to apply for the eVisa. This includes having previously purchased their transportation tickets and booked their accommodation. When organizing the trip, they should confirm they will arrive at one of the following authorized ports of entry:

• Julius Nyerere International Airport
• Kilimanjaro International Airport
• Abeid Amani Karume International Airport
• Namanga Border Crossing
• Tunduma Border Crossing
• Stone Town seaport
• Ngambo seaport

German applicants should provide an email address they regularly use, since all communication regarding their application will be carried out by email.

The Tanzania eVisa application form for German nationals is a simple and straightforward questionnaire. German citizens will need to share some personal and passport details along with their travel plans.

Some of the basic information German applicants will have to share include the following personal details:

• Full name
• Date of birth
• Country of residence
• Citizenship
• Email account

The following passport details are also required:

• Passport number
• Passport issuance date
• Passport expiration date

German visitors must also provide the following travel information:

• Travel dates
• Accommodation booking

German applicants should check their answers thoroughly before submitting them. Errors, inconsistencies, or typos could lead to delays in their evaluations or a possible denial.

Germans must also pay a fee to process their Tanzanian eVisa application. The payment is carried out via a secure online system, and most international debit or credit cards are authorized.

Once a German citizen has submitted their eVisa request, the application is processed. This takes up to 6 business days. Travelers from Germany who plan to visit Tanzania during the peak tourist season are advised to complete their eVisa application at least a week before traveling.

If their eVisa request was submitted correctly, German nationals will receive their Approved Visa Grant Notice and Visa Application Notification Letter in a confirmation email. A copy must be printed and presented upon arrival at the Tanzanian border.

Upon reaching Tanzania, German citizens should submit their passports and printouts of their eVisa and grant notice to border control officials.

German tourists should ensure that they arrive in Tanzania while the eVisa is still valid (within 90 days of issue), and that their stay does not exceed a month.
