Tanzania Business e Visa

The business e-visa is for business professionals, investors, representatives of organizations and companies, or invited participants at conferences, seminars, and fairs. You can use this e-visa to settle estates, visit for contract negotiations, connect with buyers and suppliers, and do any other business-related activity. This e-visa is not a work visa, so you cannot engage in any economic activity that will earn you financial remuneration in any way.

The Tanzanian business as e visa is also issued as a single-entry visa for visits of not more than 90 days, so you are expected to have concluded your assignment on or before the last day. The e-visa for US business visitors is different as they have access to 1-year business e-visas, which allows them to stay and pursue their activities for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.

To avail this e-visa, the holder will need to provide documents to validate their visit.
