Travellers to Tanzania
are now being asked to complete a health questionnaire online before arrival. This questionnaire can only be completed within 24 hours of intended arrival in the country. Questions include details of your travel to Tanzania (e.g. flight, seat number), details of other countries you have recently transited, and questions about your health and whether you have been in contact with a sick person. The questionnaire is available at:

Most people will not be asked for a COVID-19 test result, unless they are considered to be a high risk. There is no compulsory quarantine or self-isolation required for travellers to Tanzania.
As at 1 May 2021, travellers from India are additionally required to have a RT-PCR COVID-19 test within 72 hours of departure for Tanzania, and will also be expected to take a Rapid Antigen Test on arrival in Tanzania ($25).
