TANZANIA: Tanzania Visa Requirements For Nigerian Travelers

Contrary to what most people think, a visa is required by Nigerians as well as many other countries including the United States for entry into Tanzania.

Visa is issued at the Tanzania High Commission in Abuja ONLY.

This grants tourists and other type of visitors the authorization to enter the country through designated entry ports; airports and harbour stations.

However, for travelers coming from countries that do not have designated embassies or commissions, they will be issued visa at the entry ports in Tanzania.
