Do Liberian Citizens Need a Visa for Tanzania?
Yes. Liberia is not among Tanzania's visa-exempt countries. Liberian passport holders must obtain a Tanzania e-Visa online or a visa on arrival at Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR), Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), or Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ).
Since Liberia is classified as a yellow fever endemic country, Tanzania requires Liberian travelers to present a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate (International Certificate of Vaccination) on arrival.

Tanzania requires all Liberian travelers to present an International Certificate of Vaccination (yellow card) proving yellow fever vaccination. The vaccine must have been administered at least 10 days before entry; it is now valid for life. Failure to present this certificate can result in entry refusal or mandatory vaccination on arrival.
Malaria: Present in Tanzania. Prophylaxis strongly recommended.
