Tanzania eases entry visa rules for Nigerians

Tanzania has eased entry visa rules for Nigerian travellers, removing the country from its Referred Visa Category. This change, announced on September 25, 2026, means Nigerian nationals no longer need special immigration clearance before applying for visas and can now follow standard visa application procedures through the official online portal or designated entry points.

The new arrangement, which took effect immediately, allows Nigerian travellers to obtain visas within 10 days, subject to meeting the requirements of a valid passport, a return ticket, and an application fee of $50 for an Ordinary Visa valid for up to 90 days.
