Nationals of Brazil, China, India, or Turkey, who hold a diplomatic, service, official, or special passport, are also granted visa-exempt access to Tanzania and do not need a visa. Certain citizens of foreign countries are also able to apply for a Visa Exemption Certificate for Tanzania free of charge.

Nationals from a specific list of countries, primarily within the East African Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), can enter Tanzania visa-free for periods typically ranging from 30 to 90 days. This includes citizens of neighboring countries like Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi, as well as other African nations such as South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Additionally, many Commonwealth countries enjoy visa-free entry, including Malaysia, Singapore, and several Caribbean nations like Barbados and Jamaica. Some Mediterranean and Asian countries, such as Cyprus, Malta, and Hong Kong, also have visa-free privileges. It is important to note that even for visa-free travelers, a valid passport with at least six months of validity and a return or onward ticket is required. For those not on the exempt list, Tanzania offers an efficient "e-Visa" system or "Visa on Arrival" for most other nationalities, including those from the US, UK, and EU, though these require a fee (typically $50 or $100 depending on nationality).
