Visa Request

Each participant (sponsored or non-sponsored) will have to bear the costs for their own visa. For sponsored participants, the costs will be reimbursed by EUMETSAT.

Please visit the Tanzanian immigration service website (https://eservices.immigration.go.tz/visa/guidelines ) to find out if you need a visa and if so, which category of visa (Ordinary or Referral).

Following your registration, the Organising Committee will send you a personal invitation letter in order to ease your visa request for Tanzania.

To obtain you visa, you have the following choice:

• Visa upon arrival at the Airport. This is only for citizens of some country (see immigration website)
• E-Visa: Apply and pay on-line on the following website: https://eservices.immigration.go.tz/visa/ ($50 to be paid solely by credit card). Within 48 hours you will receive a visa acceptance letter which you will present at flight check-in to be able to embark on the flight and on arrival in Dar es Salaam to obtain your visa. In order to apply for your e-visa you will need to provide in pdf format:
  • Scan copy of your passport
  • Nominative invitation letter from TMA (provided by the Organising committee, based on acceptance of your registration)
  • Your flight itinerary
• Embassy or Consulate: Apply in person at the Embassy or Consulate of the United Republic of Tanzania in your country prior to your departure.

Should you have any issue in obtaining a visa for Tanzania, please contact the UFA Secretariat (ufa@eumetsat.int) as soon as possible who will see how best we can assist you in obtaining your visa.
