The official Tanzania e-Visa website is a single government portal operated by the Tanzania Immigration Services Department. Using the correct portal ensures you pay only the $50 government fee and that your application is submitted directly to the immigration authority without unnecessary intermediaries.
The Only Official Tanzania e-Visa Portal
URL: https://eservices.immigration.go.tz
Operated by: Tanzania Immigration Services Department (TISD), Ministry of Home Affairs, United Republic of Tanzania
Key identifying features:
- Domain: .go.tz — the official Tanzanian government domain
- Tourist single entry visa fee: $50 USD (no additional fees)
- Secure HTTPS connection (padlock icon in browser)
- Official Tanzania government branding
How to Verify You Are on the Correct Website
Before entering any personal information or payment details:
Check 1 — Domain:
The URL in your browser address bar must show eservices.immigration.go.tz or a subdomain of immigration.go.tz. Any other domain is not the official portal.
Check 2 — Fee:
The official fee for a tourist single-entry e-Visa is exactly $50 USD. If the website shows any higher amount before you have started the form, it is adding a service fee.
Check 3 — HTTPS:
The website must use HTTPS (padlock icon visible in your browser address bar). Do not enter any personal information on an unsecured HTTP page.
Check 4 — Official branding:
The portal shows Tanzania Immigration Department branding, Tanzanian coat of arms, and government ministry identification.
What Happens If You Use an Unofficial Site
If you apply through a third-party website:
- Your application is submitted to the same official portal (assuming the agent is legitimate)
- The e-Visa, if approved, is genuine — it is issued by Tanzania Immigration regardless
- You pay an extra service fee of $20–$150 for no additional benefit
- On deceptive sites, your personal and payment data may not be fully protected
