All visitors to Tanzania from non-Commonwealth countries and certain Commonwealth countries are required to hold a visa. For those traveling on diplomatic visas, visas are provided gratis. For those traveling on regular passports, the government of the United Republic of Tanzania has agreed to waive visa fees for pre-registered participants to this conference.

Referral visas, which require authorization of the Director of Immigration Services or the assistant Director of Immigration Services in Zanzibar, are required for the nationals of the following countries: Lebanon, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Somalia, Afghanistan, Senegal, Mali, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Ethiopia, Syria, Egypt, Yemen, Morocco, Tunisia, Saud Arabia, Jordan, Sri Lanka, Mauritania, Sierra Leone, Niger, and Liberia. The authorization process will be initiated once participants are registered and participants will be contacted if additional information is required.  

All participants are encouraged to obtain visas from Tanzanian embassies/high commissions in their home countries, where available. A dedicated visa desk will be available at Julius.K. Nyerere International Airport (JKNIA) for pre-registered conference participants seeking to obtain visas on arrival. To expedite this process, a visa application form is attached which can be submitted to the officer at the desk on arrival.
