About Tanzania Business Visa

The Tanzania Business Visa, also known as the Business Visa, is an official visa issued to foreign nationals who are to carry out a temporary business-related assignment in Tanzania. The visa is intended for people who need to travel to the country for a limited time to conduct professional or business activities.

The business visa can be used, for example, to carry out technical assignments, short-term training, audits, consulting assignments, feasibility studies, investments during the start-up phase of the company, or other legal business activities approved by the authorities.

The visa is valid for one entry and may be used for stays of no more than 90 days. If the assignment is expected to last longer than three months, a work permit or residence permit is usually required instead of a business visa.

The business visa is also valid for Swedish citizens traveling to Tanzania for business-related assignments and activities.

You will need the following documents to apply:

• Completed visa application
• Copy of passport information page
• The passport must be valid at least 6 months after the date of entry
• Visa photo
• Copy of return ticket
• Employment contract or other document proving the assignment or work to be performed in Tanzania for a period not exceeding three months

Tanzania can change visa rules and document requirements at short notice. It is therefore important to check the current rules before submitting the application.
