Citizens of Kosovo can apply for a Tanzania e-Visa online at eservices.immigration.go.tz. Tanzania recognizes the Kosovo passport, and Kosovar applicants can apply for USD 50 (single-entry tourist visa) and receive approval within 3–10 business days. No embassy visit is required.
Do Kosovar Citizens Need a Visa for Tanzania?
Yes. Kosovo is not among Tanzania's visa-exempt countries, and Kosovar passport holders must apply for a Tanzania e-Visa before departure or obtain a visa on arrival at Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR), Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), or Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ).
Important note for Kosovar travelers: Tanzania is among the countries that recognize Kosovo's independence and its travel documents. Your Kosovo biometric passport is accepted for the Tanzania e-Visa application. Verify your transit country's recognition policy if your flight route passes through countries that may not recognize Kosovo documents.

Kosovo-Specific Travel Notes
SERP data limited for this nationality.
Flights from Pristina (PRN) to Tanzania connect via Istanbul (Turkish Airlines), Vienna (Austrian Airlines), or other European hubs, then onward to Dar es Salaam or Kilimanjaro via Ethiopian Airlines or Kenya Airways. Total travel time: approximately 14–18 hours.
Kosovo citizens who also hold European (Serbian, North Macedonian, or other) passports may wish to consider which passport to use for the Tanzania visa application — all are processed the same way.
Health: Yellow fever certificate required only from endemic countries. Kosovo is not endemic.
