How Long Can I Stay In Tanzania?
Standard tourist visas for Tanzania allow stays of up to 90 days for most nationalities. U.S. citizens receive a multiple-entry visa valid for one year, though individual stays should not exceed 90 days.
Your visa validity and permitted length of stay will be specified when you receive your e-visa. Most visitors find that two to three weeks is ideal for combining a safari with beach time on Zanzibar.
Extensions may be possible through immigration offices in Dar es Salaam or other major cities, but this requires additional documentation and fees. We recommend planning your itinerary to fit within your initial visa allowance.
