Visas and Other Information

  • Many countries require a Visa to enter Zanzibar and Tanzania as a whole.
  • Please take a look at these guidelines, specifically the list of countries who require referral visa as well as countries which do not require a visa.
  • For all others, you can apply for a Visa online but also keep in mind you may also obtain a Visa on Arrival, which is quite simple and typically our recommendation.
  • You can simply apply for / fill out the form for an Ordinary Visa (or Multiple Entry visa for Americans), which satisfies entry for visit, tourism, attending a conference, etc. Most countries receive a single-entry visa ($50 USD) while Americans are required to take a 12-month multiple entry visa for $100 USD.
  • For contact information, you can put either the name of your host or hotel, or if unsure, please put Hitesh Divecha, ZNZ ThreeFold, Mbweni Ruins, Zanzibar, Contact Number +255 779 835 290.
  • It is technically required to have a return ticket or proof of onward travel when entering Tanzania, and in some cases your airline will ask you for this before boarding. If you are unsure of your return date, we would recommend taking a flexible ticket.

Cash

You can typically exchange cash at the airport for a good rate. There is also another place in Stone Town which typically has good rates. ATMs typically charge a high fee, unless you have a local or partner bank. Mobile money (e.g. M-Pesa) works in most places as well.

SIM Cards

  • We would recommend to pick a SIM card up at the airport. Alternatively, we can organize getting SIM cards for you during the event at cost.
  • If your phone has eSIM capabilities, you can download the Airalo app and get yourself an eSIM. This option would be a bit more expensive but also very convenient.
