Zanzibar (Tanzania) Visa

About the service

Zanzibar is part of Tanzania and the same tourist visa covers both Zanzibar and the mainland. Applying online before travel is recommended; a visa on arrival is possible for some nationalities, and not for others.

ALNWRAS WORLD is a travel-services company, not a government body. The decision belongs to the competent authority, and your request is not an issued visa.
