In 2026, the standard processing time for a Tanzania eVisa is typically 4 to 7 working days. This timeframe applies to Single-Entry Tourist, Multiple-Entry, and Business eVisas. However, peak travel seasons—such as the Safari season (June–October) and the December holidays—can cause backlogs that push processing closer to 10 business days. For travelers in a rush, expedited services can sometimes reduce the wait to 1 to 2 business days for an additional fee. A high-value "pro-tip" for 2026 is to apply at least 3 to 4 weeks before your trip to account for potential document requests (like proof of accommodation or return flights). If you fall under the "Referral Visa" category, you are advised to apply at least two months in advance. Once submitted, you can check your status on the official Tanzania Immigration Department website using your application ID and passport number.
