If you wish to travel from Nigeria to Tanzania for a special purpose (of course, any reason for making an international trip must be special), you will need a visa in order to land safely in the country that has the tallest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro.

Tanzania Visa Types

There are several types of Tanzania visas. But the major ones are the single entry visas and the multiple entry visas.

The single entry visas allow a visitor into Tanzania just once. The visitor would need to reapply for a new visa if he/she leaves before the visa validity expires.

The multiple-entry visa is the reverse of the single entry visa. All the visas explained below fall into one of the two categories.

Tanzania Business Visa

The Tanzania business visa is issuable to persons who intend to attend business-related meetings, scientific research, and symposiums in Tanzania.

It can also be issued to prospective investors and entrepreneurs who intend to start up a business in Tanzania.
