Tanzania entry planning for US tourists
US tourists must select Tanzania's Multiple Visa even for one entry. Check the official category, return evidence and separate arrival conditions.
US passport holders visiting Tanzania for tourism must select a Multiple Visa, even for one entry. This explicit exception in the immigration guidelines makes generic single-entry advice unsuitable for American tourists.
The authority lists the multiple-visa fee as USD100 and separately limits each consecutive stay. Do not confuse the document's overall validity with twelve continuous months in the country.
Read the current application checklist, including passport validity, unused page and return-ticket evidence. The authority recommends its online route and says an approval notice is not final admission. Check the applicable arrival option rather than assuming every passport or border can use it.
Review mainland/Zanzibar itinerary details and separate health or insurance requirements before travelling. UK guidance is scoped to British citizen passports; do not copy its ordinary-visa position to a US passport.
