Good to know

Mexico appears on Tanzania Immigration's list of "Countries whose nationals can obtain a visa upon arrival" — eligible for "both the online and the on arrival Visa facility"; Immigration recommends applying online at visa.immigration.go.tz (processed within ten days). Tourists need an Ordinary (single-entry) Visa, USD 50, non-refundable. Stay: the guidelines give the Ordinary Visa "a validity of up to 90 days" (a validity figure); Canada's official travel advice (updated 7 Oct 2026) describes it as a "3-month tourist ... single entry visa on arrival" and says stays over 90 days require applying for an eVisa in advance — so 90 days is used here. Holders who visit other East African countries may re-enter on the same visa while it is still valid. No work or business allowed. A visa grant is not a final authority to enter; the officer at the border may refuse entry. One visa covers both Mainland and Zanzibar. 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.
