Tanzania entry requirements for Malaysian citizens

How long you can stay

The official source doesn't state a fixed stay length. Check it before you travel.

What you need

• Passport valid at least 6 months, with at least one unused page
• Return ticket (must be shown at the point of entry)
• Mandatory Tanzanian inbound travel insurance (NIC for mainland entry, ZIC for entry via Zanzibar)
• Yellow fever vaccination certificate if arriving from or transiting a yellow-fever country

Good to know

Malaysia is listed (no. 37) on the Tanzania High Commission in Kuala Lumpur's "List of countries which do not require visa", consistent with Tanzania's Visa Guidelines exempting Commonwealth countries other than the UK, Canada, India, Pakistan, Australia and New Zealand. The permitted visa-free stay length could not be confirmed on any primary source in this pass (neither Tanzanian Immigration nor a Malaysian government page states it), so no day count is given — the stay is set by the immigration officer on arrival. Mandatory inbound travel insurance: NIC's official FAQ states the cover "is mandatory to all foreigners traveling in Tanzania Mainland", entering by land, sea or air, premium the TZS equivalent of USD 44 per person, valid 92 days with multiple entries, buy online at inbound.nicinsurance.co.tz or at the entry point; residents of EAC/SADC partner states are excluded (https://inbound.nicinsurance.co.tz/faqs). Canada's travel advice (updated 7 Oct 2026) confirms the insurer is NIC for mainland entry and the Zanzibar Insurance Corporation (ZIC) for entry via Zanzibar. Yellow fever: Immigration's tourist-info page says visitors must follow the Ministry of Health's yellow fever requirements; Canada's advice says proof of vaccination is required if arriving from, or transiting an airport in, a yellow-fever country.
