Citizens of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) must obtain a visa before entering Tanzania. The Tanzania e-Visa portal at eservices.immigration.go.tz is the only practical route — Tanzania has no embassy in Micronesia. Apply for USD 50 (single-entry tourist visa) and receive approval within 3–10 business days. Given the multi-day journey from Micronesia to Tanzania, apply well before departure.
Do Micronesian Citizens Need a Visa for Tanzania?
Yes. The Federated States of Micronesia is not among Tanzania's visa-exempt countries. Micronesian 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 strongly recommended given the long journey from the Pacific.

Micronesia-Specific Travel Notes
SERP data limited for this nationality.
The Federated States of Micronesia and Tanzania are both tropical maritime nations, though separated by vast distances. Flights from Pohnpei (PNI) or other FSM islands to Tanzania require multiple connections — typically through Guam, Tokyo (NRT/HND), or Honolulu (HNL), then onward to Dar es Salaam via Dubai (Emirates), Doha (Qatar Airways), or Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines). Total journey time: 30–40 hours.
Plan the trip at least 3–4 weeks in advance to allow for visa processing and flight connections.
Health: Yellow fever certificate required only if arriving from endemic countries. The Federated States of Micronesia is not endemic.
