🇮🇷 Iran visa requirements for Tanzanian citizens

Entry rules for Tanzania passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Tanzania can travel to Iran for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 15 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 15-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Iran, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Iran immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The Tanzanian passport ranks #130 worldwide, opening 68 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (43 visa-free, 23 with a visa on arrival and 2 with an eTA). Iran is one of them.

This is not reciprocal — traveling the other way, Iranian citizens need to arrange entry to Tanzania in advance (e-visa).

Across Southern Asia as a whole, 6 of 9 destinations are open to Tanzanian travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
