About the Tanzania Passport

#56Rank, shared with 7
100Mobility score
45Visa-free
51%Of world destinations

The Tanzania passport is ranked 56th, which places it in the lower tier. Holders can enter 45 destinations without a visa, and counting eTA, visa on arrival and e-Visa access, total mobility comes to 100.

Africa is the strongest region, with 21 visa-free destinations, and South America is the weakest, with one. Singapore admits Tanzanians without a visa, while Australia and the United Arab Emirates use e-Visas. France and the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Japan, China and Brazil all require a visa in advance. Regional travel is easy, but most intercontinental trips need lead time and paperwork. The e-Visa systems in Australia and the Emirates reduce the effort a little, though they still add cost and time. A second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to 80 destinations.
