Flight itinerary for your Tanzania eVisa — the right way.
Tanzania is home to the Serengeti, Kilimanjaro, and Zanzibar — and the eVisa portal at immigration.go.tz requires proof of return or onward travel before issuing your visa. Whether you are flying into Kilimanjaro, Julius Nyerere in Dar es Salaam, or Zanzibar Airport, get your flight itinerary from Flightinary before you apply.
What you need to know
What is a flight itinerary — and why does Tanzania's immigration.go.tz portal require one as an upload?
Tanzania's eVisa application at immigration.go.tz requires you to upload proof of onward or return travel as a document file — before your visa is approved, and before it makes sense to have bought real tickets. That's the core problem: the portal needs a credible flight document before you commit to a trip that costs thousands in safari lodges, Kilimanjaro permits, and Zanzibar accommodation. With eVisa processing taking up to 10 business days (longer than Kenya's 3–5 days), buying non-refundable international flights ahead of approval is a real financial risk. A Flightinary itinerary covers the JRO/DAR/ZNZ portal upload requirement with genuine IATA flight numbers — in 15 minutes, at a fraction of a ticket's cost.
What a flight itinerary is
A formally prepared travel document showing your complete routing into and out of Tanzania — real airline IATA codes, genuine flight numbers, correct airport identifiers (JRO for Kilimanjaro, DAR for Dar es Salaam, ZNZ for Zanzibar), and your travel dates — generated from live aviation data. It is the format immigration officers and eVisa review staff expect to see as proof of travel arrangements.
Why not just buy a real ticket?
Tanzania's eVisa processing can take up to 10 business days. Buying non-refundable international flights before your visa is confirmed — especially when your itinerary might shift based on safari lodge availability, Kilimanjaro permit dates, or Zanzibar ferry schedules — is an avoidable risk. An itinerary from Flightinary gives you the document you need to submit your eVisa, with zero financial exposure on actual flights.
Does Flightinary's itinerary work for Tanzania eVisa submissions?
Yes. The Tanzania Immigration portal accepts a flight itinerary as proof of travel arrangements. Flightinary's documents are generated from real-time GDS data — genuine IATA flight numbers, correct airline codes, properly structured route information — and produced in PDF format for direct upload to immigration.go.tz.

How your nationality affects your Tanzania eVisa application
Tanzania's eVisa is available to most nationalities online. Citizens of some African Union countries and EAC member states (Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi) may have different entry arrangements. East African Community members can travel within the EAC under bilateral agreements. Citizens of countries not eligible for the eVisa must apply at a Tanzanian embassy or high commission.

Tanzania eVisa approval rates are high across all listed nationalities. The main risk is not refusal from scrutiny — it's delays from incomplete document uploads. Submit a full document pack from the outset: clear passport scan, digital photo, Flightinary itinerary with genuine IATA codes, confirmed safari or lodge booking, and (if required) yellow fever certificate. Reapplication is permitted after rejection, but it resets the 10-business-day clock.
⚠️ The #1 delay trigger: flight itinerary dates that don't match accommodation dates
Ensure your Flightinary itinerary dates are consistent with your safari lodge or hotel booking dates. A mismatch between your arrival date on the itinerary and your accommodation check-in is one of the most common triggers for follow-up queries. Bank statements showing steady funds over 3 months — rather than a single large deposit before applying — complete a strong Tanzania eVisa application.

Stay rules — explained
How long can you stay in Tanzania?
Tanzania's eVisa grants up to 90 days per entry. Most safari and Zanzibar trips fall well within this limit, but climbers spending extended time on Kilimanjaro or visitors combining Tanzania with extended regional travel should check their stay length carefully. Zanzibar has its own immigration processing — though covered by the same Tanzania visa, border officials on the island may handle entry separately.
Days maximum stay
Standard Tanzania eVisa (single or multiple entry) grants up to 90 days per entry. Calculated from date of each entry at the port of entry.
Weeks typical processing
Allow 3 weeks minimum from eVisa application to travel date — processing can take up to 10 business days and delays do occur in peak season.
USD EAC Tourist Visa
The East Africa Tourist Visa covers Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda for $100. Tanzania's participation varies — confirm current status before applying.
