Do Moldovan Citizens Need a Visa for Tanzania?
Yes. Moldova is not among Tanzania's visa-exempt countries. Moldovan 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).

Moldova-Specific Travel Notes
SERP data limited for this nationality.
Flights from Chisinau (KIV) to Tanzania connect through Istanbul (Turkish Airlines), Bucharest (TAROM), or other hubs, then onward via Ethiopian Airlines or Kenya Airways. Total travel time: approximately 14–18 hours.
Moldova's growing tourism market increasingly includes long-haul African safari destinations. Moldovan citizens with Romanian dual citizenship may also use their Romanian passport for the application — processing is identical.
