Visa & entry requirements for Tanzania.
Everything delegates need to enter Tanzania for the 2nd Africa Human Resource Summit — Mount Meru Hotel, Arusha, 19–22 August 2026.
Check Visa on Arrival eligibility
Enter the country that issued your passport to see whether your nationality can obtain a visa on arrival in Tanzania for the Summit.
Eligibility lists follow the Tanzania Immigration Services Visa Guidelines and may change without notice — always confirm on the official portal before you travel.
Apply online (e-Visa)
There are two ways to obtain a Tanzania visa: applying online for an e-Visa, or getting a visa on arrival at an official entry point. The Immigration Services recommend the online platform. Apply early — processing takes up to 10 working days (longer for referral cases).
