Tanzania Visa for Brazilian Citizens

Brazilian citizens need a visa to visit Tanzania. The Ordinary Visa costs $50 for a single entry and permits a stay of up to 90 days. The most convenient way to apply is through the e-Visa portal at visa.immigration.go.tz, although visa on arrival is also an option at major Tanzanian airports. Tanzania offers some of Africa's most iconic wildlife experiences, from the Serengeti migration to the beaches of Zanzibar. Brazilian travelers should plan ahead and submit their e-Visa application at least two weeks before departure, as processing times can stretch to 10 business days.
