Common questions
Can India citizens extend their stay in Tanzania?
The standard stay is as specified by the visa. Extensions may or may not be available depending on local immigration policy. Contact the nearest immigration office in Tanzania for current procedures.
Do I need health insurance to visit Tanzania?
Travel health insurance is strongly recommended for any international trip to Tanzania. Medical costs abroad can be very high without coverage, and emergency evacuation costs can reach tens of thousands of dollars. Consider a policy that covers medical treatment, hospitalization, and repatriation.
Can I work in Tanzania on a evisa required entry?
No. Entry under an eVisa or visa on arrival is for tourism or business visits, not employment. A separate work authorization is required.
