Tanzania has removed Nigerian passport holders from its referred visa category, meaning Nigerians travelling to the country will no longer be required to undergo the additional visa referral process.

The change took effect on September 25, 2026, following amendments published in Government Gazette No. 246 of 2026.

According to Tanzania’s Immigration Services Department, Nigerian nationals travelling to Tanzania will now follow the country’s standard visa application process.

Nigerians can apply through Tanzania’s official immigration online portal or designated entry points without being subjected to the previous referred visa requirements.

The development was announced by the Tanzania Immigration Services Department Chief Spokesperson, ACI Paul J. Mselle, who said the change followed the recently published amendments.

The move means Nigerian travellers can now access Tanzania’s standard visa process without the additional referral requirements previously applicable to them.
