Tanzania visa for football fans, step by step

Planning to follow your team to Tanzania in June and July 2027? Sort your entry papers first. This guide walks through the steps; check every detail against the official source before you pay for anything.

1. Check whether you need a visa

Some nationalities can enter Tanzania without a visa, others need one before travel. The list changes, so check your passport against the official list on the Tanzania Immigration Department website. [Confirm the current exemption list and link before publishing.]

2. Apply online, and only on the official portal

Tanzania issues visas through the government's official online visa service. Use that site only. Third-party sites that look official may charge extra fees.

• Apply at least [X] weeks before you fly. [Confirm recommended lead time.]
• Have a passport valid for at least [6] months beyond your stay. [Confirm.]
• Keep a digital and printed copy of the approval.

3. What you may be asked for

• Return or onward ticket
• Proof of accommodation (your FanSafari booking confirmation works for this)
• Yellow fever certificate if you arrive from or through a country with risk of transmission. [Confirm current rule.]

4. Tournament-specific arrangements

Host countries sometimes announce fan visas or simplified entry for big tournaments. If that happens for 2027 we will update this page. [Watch for official announcements.]
