Poland to Tanzania

You can get a Tanzanian visa on arrival at the border, or you can apply beforehand through the official e‑visa portal or at a Tanzanian embassy or consulate. The on‑arrival option is available without any pre‑travel application.

Tanzanian authorities may ask you to show a return or onward ticket at the border or check‑in. Have a printed or electronic copy of your booking available to show on request.

At immigration you may be asked to show that you have sufficient funds for your stay. The official guidance simply says you may be asked to demonstrate means of support; no specific amount is stated here.

There is an official Tanzanian e‑visa portal where you can apply for a visa before travel. Use that portal to apply online if you prefer not to use the on‑arrival option.

You may apply at a Tanzanian embassy or consulate in Poland if you want consular help or to obtain a visa without travelling. The embassy’s site is linked on this page for consular assistance, not as the primary e‑visa application portal.

Travellers arriving from or transiting through the Democratic Republic of Congo or Uganda must complete an epidemiological surveillance form. Check whether this applies to your route before travel.

If you will travel between mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, carry proof of yellow fever vaccination when required; the guidance says travellers moving between the two may need to show it. In some cases, a border medical point may offer vaccination if you lack a valid certificate.

Zanzibar requires an additional mandatory ZIC travel insurance; other foreign policies may not be accepted there. If you plan to visit Zanzibar, ensure you have the ZIC cover as required.

No national identity card or driving licence is accepted for entry. You must travel on a passport — either an ordinary passport or a temporary passport is listed as accepted in the verified facts.

Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the planned end of your stay. The source repeats the six‑month rule measured from the planned end of the visit.

No vaccination is universally mandatory for entry. The official guidance recommends hepatitis A vaccination and advises consultation before travel; yellow fever vaccination is required only in specific circumstances such as transit through endemic areas or travel between mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar.

Tanzanian authorities may refuse entry to travellers with damaged or invalid travel documents. Carry a valid passport with at least six months’ validity; a passport in poor condition can lead to problems at immigration or transit.

There is no arrival registration or general entry card required for this route. The official guidance does not list a mandatory arrival registration for tourists arriving in Tanzania.
