Special caution is advised when travelling.

Due to safety issues, it is advised against unnecessary travel into the border-regions of Mozambique (south part of Mtwara).

The 3G rule (mandatory proof of vaccination, recovery or negative testing) applies to all flights to, from and via Germany. This means that travellers aged 12 and over departing from Germany must present proof of vaccination, recovery or negative testing before starting their journey, regardless of the destination country's entry requirements.

Within 24 hours before entering the country, travellers must fill out a 'Traveler's Surveillance Form', which generates a 'Unique Health Code' to be presented to the authorities upon arrival.

Travellers must also complete an online health declaration if travelling to Zanzibar.

Transit travelers are exempt from vaccination and testing requirements.

Information on quarantine regulations, testing requirements and possible exceptions for transit travellers that have been vaccinated can be found in the respective categories (if available).

Travellers must provide a negative RT-PCR test result (not older than 72 hour) on arrival. If they fail to produce such a test certificate, they are required to undergo such a test at their own expense (approx. 100$) when entering Tanzania. Travellers have to self-isolate until test results are available If provided by the test centre or pharmacy, the COVID test certificate should contain the passport/ID number of the passenger(s), as this is required by some airlines for transportation. Please note that some countries generally only accept a laboratory-based »RT-PCR« test for entry. Other PCR tests such as Express PCR test, PoC PCR test or PCR rapid test may lead to refusal of entry.

Travellers from certain countries are subject to a rapid test on arrival for which a fee is charged. Payment should be made online before departure (mainland Tanzania, Zanzibar), the control number generated must be presented on entry. Germany, Austria and Switzerland are not currently mentioned on the list (as of 18 May)

Individuals showing symptoms on arrival may also be asked to take a test.

Travellers taking a test on arrival in Tanzania must self-isolate while awaiting test results.

Persons with COVID-19 symptoms may be re-tested for COVID-19. If test results come back positive, travellers will be required to self-isolate or to quarantine in a government facility for 14 days. Quarantine is lifted upon presenting a negative PCR test result at the end of this period.

Only the relevant embassies, consulates and national authorities can provide binding information on which vaccines are accepted for entering a country. In Tanzania, such information is made available through e.g. the Ministry of Health.
