3. Type of Sri Lanka visa for Tanzanian citizens

Tanzanian citizens must obtain a visa to visit Sri Lanka. To obtain a conventional visa, Tanzania passport holders must apply online for an e-visa or visit the Sri Lanka embassy in Tanzania or overseas.

Tanzanians can choose from a number of Sri Lanka e-Visas to meet their travel needs. The Sri Lankan visa policy specifies the following three:

Tanzanian tourists can use this travel authorization to visit Sri Lanka for leisure and relaxation. The tourist visa is valid for six months and allows Tanzanians to visit Sri Lanka twice during that time. They are only allowed to stay for a total of 30 days.

Tanzanian professionals can travel to Sri Lanka for business meetings, investment opportunities, and professional events. The Business visa is also valid for six months and allows for a maximum stay of 30 days. The Business e-visa differs in that it allows for multiple entries within the e-visa's validity period.

You can request a transit e-visa if you have a layover in Sri Lanka on your way to another destination. It is valid for 6 months from the issued date and allows for only one admission. The layover will be no longer than 48 hours.

The application for a Sri Lanka e-Visa is entirely online, and unlike regular visas, there is no need for the applicant to visit an embassy.

Tanzania nationals who need to stay in Sri Lanka for more than a month or who plan to relocate for a longer period of time for employment or academic reasons should contact the Sri Lankan embassy in Tanzania to determine which travel authorization is best for them.
