Tanzania eVisa Requirements for Citizens of Italy

In line with the Tanzanian visa policy, Italian passport holders must have a visa to enter the country.

For vacations and leisure, citizens of Italy can apply for a tourist visa online quickly and easily. This eVisa is required stays of up to 30 days.

For longer stays or trips for non-tourist reasons, Italians will need to visit the Tanzanian embassy in Rome or Consulate in Milan for further visa options.

Applicants must meet the visa requirements for Italian passport holders to complete their eVisa request. The basic requirements Italians must meet to apply for the eVisa to enter Tanzania include the following:

• Italian passport — this must be valid for at least 6 months after arriving in Tanzania
• Digital copy of the passport bio page
• Passport-style photograph of Italian traveler
• Digital copy of the return/onward ticket (not mandatory)
• Bank card to pay the eVisa fee
• Current email address

Italian applicants should note the Tanzanian eVisa is a unique travel permit that will be linked to their passport once approved. It cannot be transferred to a second passport. Therefore, if their passport is set to expire soon, it is advisable to renew it before beginning the application.

They should also ensure it includes at least one blank page for government officials to provide entry and exit stamps.

It is recommended that Italian travelers use an email address they access regularly. All the communications regarding their application will be done by email.

The Tanzania eVisa application form is an online questionnaire with simple and straightforward questions that Italian citizens can usually answer in 15 to 20 minutes.

The following personal information and passport details must be provided:

• Full name
• Date of birth
• Place of birth
• Citizenship
• Email address
• Residential address
• Passport number
• Passport issue date
• Passport expiry date
• Proof of accommodation
• Entry and exit dates

Italian travelers should check their answers before submitting the eVisa form. Once delivered, it cannot be altered. Any mistake or gaps in information could delay their approval or even lead to rejection.

Nationals of Italy applying for a Tanzania eVisa must also pay a small processing fee. Most international debit and credit cards are accepted, and the payment is carried out by a secure online system. 

Once Italian travelers have submitted their Tanzania eVisa request, it is processed within 6 business days.

If all the answers they provided are correct and they meet the eVisa requirements, they will receive a confirmation email with an Approved Visa Grant Notice and a Visa Application Notification Letter. Upon receipt, they should print out a copy of each and bring them to present at Tanzanian immigration control.

Italian travelers with an approved eVisa should arrange to enter Tanzania via one of the following ports of entry, which are equipped to process the electronic visa:

• Julius Nyerere International Airport
• Kilimanjaro International Airport
• Abeid Amani Karume International Airport
• Namanga Border Crossing
• Tunduma Border Crossing

Some seaports in the Zanzibar islands also authorize entries with the eVisa. Italian tourists are advised to consult which ones allow the eVisa if their holiday includes arriving by ship.

At Tanzanian border control, Italian visitors will be required to submit their passport and printed copies of their granted eVisa and confirmation letter for inspection before being allowed to enter the country.

Italian citizens must not stay longer than the 30 days permitted for their visit. Both their entry and departure must comply with the eVisa’s validity of 90 days.
