Slovenian citizens must obtain a Tanzania e-Visa before travel. Slovenia's gov.si website confirms that citizens of Tanzania need a visa to enter Slovenia โ and the reverse is equally true. The Tanzania e-Visa costs USD 50 (~EUR 46) for single entry, is applied for at eservices.immigration.go.tz, and takes 3-10 business days to process.
Do Slovenian Citizens Need a Visa for Tanzania?
Yes, Slovenian (slovenski) citizens require a visa to enter Tanzania. Slovenia is both an EU member and part of the Schengen Area, but neither provides visa-free access to Tanzania. The relationship is reciprocal: Tanzanian citizens need a Schengen visa to visit Slovenia; Slovenian citizens need a Tanzania e-Visa to visit Tanzania.
There is no resident Tanzanian embassy in Slovenia. The nearest Tanzanian diplomatic mission for Slovenian citizens is typically the Tanzania Embassy in Rome (Italy) or Vienna (Austria) โ but the online e-Visa makes all of this irrelevant for standard tourist travel.
