| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay | Your passport needs at least one blank page for the visa sticker. Tanzania does not require 6 months of validity beyond your stay — just cover your travel dates. Airlines sometimes check this at check-in. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Dar es Salaam and Kilimanjaro airports routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a bus/ferry ticket out of Tanzania ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in Tanzania. Officers at the visa counter sometimes ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Yellow fever vaccination Required if arriving from endemic country | If you fly into Tanzania from a country with yellow fever (e.g., Kenya, Uganda, Brazil), you must show a valid yellow fever certificate at immigration. No certificate means you get vaccinated on the spot or denied entry. | Required |
Bring USD cash — exact change
The visa on arrival fee must be paid in US dollars. ATMs at the airport may not dispense USD, and card payments are not accepted. Bring crisp, undamaged bills — old or torn notes may be refused.
Visa on arrival is straightforward
The process at major airports takes 5–10 minutes. Have your passport, arrival card, and USD cash ready. No photo or photocopy needed.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at immigration
At Julius Nyerere International Airport (Dar es Salaam), Kilimanjaro International Airport, or any other entry point, follow signs to 'Visa on Arrival' or 'Immigration'. There's usually a separate counter for visa issuance before the main passport control queue.
2
Present documents and pay
Hand over your passport, completed arrival card (you'll get it on the plane or at the counter), and the visa fee in USD. The officer will process your visa — expect 5–10 minutes. They may ask to see your return ticket or accommodation booking.
3
Receive visa and enter
Once approved, the officer will affix the visa sticker into your passport and stamp it. You then proceed to passport control for final clearance. Keep the visa sticker intact — it's your proof of legal stay.

Frequently asked questions
As of 2026, a single-entry visa on arrival costs $50 USD. Double-entry visas are $100, and multiple-entry visas are $150. Pay in cash — exact change preferred. Cards are not accepted.
Yes, you can extend your visa at the Immigration Department in Dar es Salaam or at regional immigration offices. Extensions cost around $50–$100 depending on duration. Apply before your current visa expires.
If you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk, you'll need to show a yellow fever vaccination certificate. Slovenia is not a risk country, so if you fly directly from Slovenia, you don't need it. But if you've recently traveled to a risk country (e.g., parts of South America or Africa), you may be asked for proof.
You will be denied entry. The 6-month validity rule is strictly enforced. Renew your passport before traveling.
Yes, most major land border crossings (e.g., Namanga from Kenya, Tunduma from Zambia) offer visa on arrival for Slovenian citizens. The process and fee are the same as at airports.
No. There's no mandatory online pre-registration for Slovenian passport holders. You simply fill out the arrival card on the plane or at the immigration counter.
Overstaying incurs a fine of about $50–$100 per month, payable at immigration when you leave. In serious cases, you could be detained or banned from re-entry. Best to extend or leave on time.
