The rest of the trip for a Taiwanese passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Tanzania entry requirements.
Skip the form. $9.99 a traveller.
A NUM person files the Tanzania eVisa on visa.immigration.go.tz for everyone in your group. NUM’s fee is $9.99 plus the US$50 single entry (US$100 for US passports) government fee at cost. You answer any eligibility questions yourself, the decision goes to your own email, and your passport details are deleted the moment it’s filed. NUM isn’t the government and can’t promise approval.
The details for a Taiwanese passport.
CORRECTED from e-Visa: Taiwan's Bureau of Consular Affairs says ROC passport holders can get a visa on arrival (bring passport valid 6+ months, return ticket, accommodation booking and contact details, two 2-inch photos, yellow fever certificate, proof of funds; single entry USD 50, multiple USD 100; stay up to 90 days), but that page is dated 2022. The Tanzania embassy (Washington) table lists Taiwan as an ordinary-visa nationality (USD 50, not referral), while the immigration e-Visa portal does not list Taiwan among nationalities eligible for online/on-arrival visas. Tanzania does not recognise Taiwan. Mandatory Tanzanian government inbound travel insurance for all non-resident visitors, even if you hold your own policy: covers up to 92 days; buy it only for your first port of entry - National Insurance Corporation (NIC) if you land on the mainland first, Zanzibar Insurance Corporation (ZIC, visitzanzibar.go.tz) if you land in Zanzibar first - online beforehand or on arrival; entry can be refused without it. Zanzibar since 1 Oct 2024 (USD 44 per person per Tanzanian embassy notice); mainland since 1 Oct 2026 (NIC price not shown on official pages read; reported as USD 44). ZIC policies bought before 1 Oct 2026 also cover a mainland first entry.
How long it must be valid.
At least 6 months' validity from the date of arrival.
