What you need

  • Passport valid at least 6 months beyond stay
  • Return or onward travel ticket
  • Proof of accommodation
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the trip
  • Yellow fever certificate if arriving from or transiting a yellow-fever endemic country
  • Travel health insurance recommended

Visa types

  • Not applicable for short tourist or business visits under this visa-free arrangement. Travelers wishing to work, study, or stay longer than 90 days should apply for the relevant permit through Tanzania's Immigration Services Department (eservices.immigration.go.tz) or a Tanzanian embassy before departure.

Entry conditions

  • Hong Kong SAR passport holders may enter mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar for up to 90 days within a 12-month period without a visa, for tourism purposes — paid work is not permitted. Immigration officers may request proof of onward travel, accommodation, and sufficient funds at the port of entry. Extensions beyond the initial permitted stay are handled by the Immigration Services Department and are not automatic.

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee applies since entry is visa-free
  • Any in-country extension is processed through the Immigration Services Department, typically within a few working days, for a separate fee
  • No advance processing is needed before travel

Tips for Hong Kong travelers

  • Carry printed proof of onward travel and accommodation, as border officers may request it
  • Confirm current entry terms on the official Immigration Services Department site before departure, since policies are periodically updated
  • Keep a yellow fever certificate on hand if your itinerary includes a stop in an endemic country beforehand
  • Register with Hong Kong's outbound travel alert service for extended trips
