Apply for a visa upon arrival in Tanzania
What happens if you want to apply for a visa locally? When you arrive in one of Tanzania’s airports/borders, there is a specific counter you need to go to in order to apply for a visa, if you have not done so online before your trip.
Applying is quite easy. The time it takes to obtain it depends entirely on the number of people at the airport. Even if you’re one of the first passengers to exit the plane and enter the airport, you still might have to queue for 20 minutes.
It can sometimes take an hour, even when it’s not high season.
You should take this into consideration, especially if you are traveling in high season, because waiting for several hours to get your visa, after such a long flight isn’t a good thing to do.
