Tanzania Eases Visa Process for Nigerians in 2026
The Tanzania Immigration Services Department announced on September 25, 2026, that Nigerian passport holders are no longer required to obtain special immigration clearance before applying for a visa, as Nigeria has been removed from the Referred Visa Category. This policy change simplifies the visa application process, allowing Nigerians to follow standard procedures through the official immigration online portal or designated entry points.
Previously, applicants from Nigeria needed approval from the Office of the Commissioner General of Immigration and were advised to submit requests at least two months before travel. Despite the eased requirements, Nigerian travelers must still obtain a visa to enter Tanzania, which costs $50 for an Ordinary Visa allowing a stay of up to 90 days.
Passports must be valid for at least six months with one unused visa page. The decision aims to make Tanzania more accessible to Nigerian tourists by eliminating the lengthy referral clearance stage.
