Types of Tanzania visa for Jordanian citizens

Getting the visa approval is quite straightforward. All you need is to meet some Tanzania visa requirements and fill out the application form. Once approved, you’ll receive the online visa in your email inbox.

However, it’s essential to apply for the Tanzania visa according to your travel purpose. The Tanzania visa policy may differ for a tourist visa, volunteer e-Visa, or transit visa. If you need another type of visa, such as a business visa or spousal visa, we advise you to contact your nearest Tanzania embassy.

All these visas offer single entries. You should consult the Tanzania embassy for further information if you need a multiple-entry visa. Check the details of each travel document below to prepare for your trip to the United Republic of Tanzania.

Tanzania Tourist Visa (e-Visa)

If you want to see the wildlife eye-to-eye, spend days relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar, or hike Mount Kilimanjaro, you likely need a tourist visa to enter Tanzania.

This electronic visa type is only for those whose point of entry into the country is one of the following: Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA), Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA), Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (AAKIA), Namanga land border, or Tunduma land border.

Once you can apply for this tourist visa, all you have to do is fill out the online form and wait for the Tanzanian visa to arrive in your email inbox.

The applicant can use this visa for tourism, holidays, attending conferences, humanitarian and charity activities, or family visits. Jordanian citizens are allowed a stay of maximum 90 days per entry in the country.

Tanzania Volunteer e-Visa

Many travelers go to Tanzania to work as volunteers for NGOs or charity organizations. Volunteer work can be a life-changing experience and a great way to learn about another culture.

In this case, the applicant needs to apply for a Tanzania volunteer e-visa. For Jordanian citizens, it’s a simple process once they are eligible to apply through the online system.

Tanzania Transit Visa

If Tanzania is a stopover on your travels, why not spend a few days in the country and spend some time exploring? The only thing that Jordanian citizens need for that is a Transit e-Visa.

This Tanzania transit visa allows you to cross the country from one point of entry to another destination. Even if you are going to stay just a few hours in the country but want to leave the airport, you must apply for this visa.
