Jordanian citizens must obtain a visa before entering Tanzania. Apply at eservices.immigration.go.tz for USD 50 (single-entry tourist visa) and receive your approved e-Visa by email within 3โ10 business days. No embassy visit in Amman is needed โ the full process is online.
Do Jordanians Need a Visa for Tanzania?
Yes. Jordan is not among Tanzania's visa-exempt countries. Jordanian passport holders must apply for a Tanzania e-Visa online before departure or obtain a visa on arrival at Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR), Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), or Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ).
The e-Visa applied in advance is the recommended option โ it provides confirmed entry documentation and avoids airport queues.
Is Jordan eVisa available? Jordan operates its own eVisa system for visitors to Jordan โ this is a completely separate process from the Tanzania e-Visa.
