About Tanzania Diplomatic Visa

Tanzania Diplomatic Visa is an official visa issued to holders of diplomatic passports as well as persons travelling on official missions for governments, international organisations or diplomatic missions. The visa is issued by Tanzania's immigration authorities and is intended for travel that has an official or diplomatic purpose.

Diplomatic visas are different from tourist visas and business visas because they are only intended for people traveling on official duty. The application must be supported by official documents from the authority, organisation or mission that the applicant represents.

For Swedish citizens traveling to Tanzania on official missions, a diplomatic visa may be necessary depending on the purpose of the trip and the type of passport used. The final decision on visas is always made by Tanzania's immigration authorities.

The period of validity of the visa and the permitted period of stay vary depending on the nature of the assignment and are decided on a case-by-case basis by the responsible authorities.

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
• Diplomatic or official passport, if applicable
• Official letter or verbal note from the competent authority, embassy or international organisation

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