Foreign visitors eligible for an electronic Tanzania visa can choose from two available options. They can apply for either a tourist visa or transit visa, depending on their travel needs. A tourist visa can be used for all kinds of leisure trips, including holidays and family visits, while a transit visa functions as a permit only for a transit stop in Tanzania before reaching the final destination. A transit visa cannot be used as an equivalent of a tourist visa.
One more type of Tanzania entry authorization is a multiple-entry e-visa. This visa type is dedicated exclusively to U.S. citizens who want to enter Tanzania and Zanzibar.
