The Tanzania Immigration
Services Department launched a new Online Visa Service on 26th November, 2018.
A prospective visitor to the United Republic of Tanzania can now easily apply,
make payment, and receive his/her Visa Grant Notice online.
To access these services, an
applicant is required to visit the Tanzania Immigration Services Department’s
website www.immigration.go.tz and click “e-services” button; select
“Online-Visa Application”; and fill in the Visa Application Form.
Then, an applicant will
submit his/her relevant scanned document attachments online; after which he/she
will receive an email message containing User Identification Number that he/she
can use to track status of his/her visa application online.
Thereafter, an applicant will
be required to make payment of his/her visa application fee either by Visa
Card, Master Card, or Swift Transfer (i.e. depositing money directly into the
Tanzania Immigration Services Department Bank Account at a bank counter). After
payment of the respective fee, an applicant will receive a notification that
the payment has been received.
