Tanzania eVisa for Japanese Citizens

Yes, Japanese nationals can apply for a Tanzania visa online. This electronic visa (eVisa) is obtained by completing a short form. This can be done with any computer or device connected to the internet.

Once approved, the Tanzanian eVisa for Japanese travelers is delivered by email.

Eligible travelers from anywhere in the world can submit an application, provided they have a stable internet connection. The Tanzania eVisa policy clarifies which citizens are eligible to travel there with the eVisa. These include holders of passports issued by Japan.

Before accessing the eVisa application form, Japanese nationals must ensure they meet the Tanzania eVisa conditions. These include having the following:

• Japanese passport that must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival in Tanzania
• Digital copy of the passport bio page
• Passport-style photograph of the Japanese national
• A valid email address which the Tanzanian government will use as the primary communications channel with the Japanese applicants
• A credit or debit card authorized for online transactions to pay the processing fee
• Proof of onward travel in the form of a return or onward ticket

Japanese travelers with a passport that will expire in less than 6 months or do not have at least one blank page left will have to renew it before submitting their eVisa application.

Japanese citizens with dual nationalities should remember to use the same passport for their Tanzania eVisa request as the one they will eventually use to enter the country.

The eVisa for Tanzania is a unique travel authorization. It is not transferrable from one travel document to another and is electronically linked to the original passport that has been used for the application.

The online application form for the Tanzania eVisa consists of a straightforward questionnaire followed by a secure payment platform.

Japanese applicants will need to provide details about their travel plans, passport information, and biographical data.

They should review the application before submitting it to ensure that the information matches what is shown on their passport. Any misinformation or typo could result in delays in the approval or even a rejection.

Once Japanese applicants receive their eVisa for Tanzania, they must print a copy of both the eVisa and the notification letter and keep it with the rest of their travel documents.

Visitors from Japan will be required to present both documents to Tanzanian border control officials to enter the country.

Before booking their tickets, Japanese visitors should check which ports of entry authorize arrivals with the eVisa. They must select one of the following ports of entry for Tanzania and Zanzibar if arriving by land or by air:

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

Travelers visiting the Zanzibar archipelago or coastal Tanzania can also enter by selected seaports.
