The current visa guidance lists USD 50 for an ordinary visa, USD 100 for a multiple-entry visa, USD 250 for business and USD 30 for transit. Your passport and purpose decide which category is appropriate.
Review the current fee, service charges, currency and payment terms before finalising. Do not rely on an old screenshot or a fee quoted for another nationality.
US passport holders visiting for tourism generally need a multiple-entry visa even when they plan one trip. This is why the passport should be selected before comparing prices.
Visa rules depend on the passport used for travel, the purpose of the visit, the first destination and the documents that support the trip. A traveller should not select a category only because it appears convenient. The form, passport, travel dates and supporting evidence should describe the same journey from beginning to end.
VistoRoute provides independent visa guidance and application assistance. Our current Tanzania service estimate is 7 days, but this is not a visa decision guarantee. A referral route, missing information, a correction request or additional review can change the time needed.
The visa fee depends on the category and, in some cases, the passport or programme. A traveller should separate three numbers: the visa fee, any service or assistance fee and any payment-provider charge. The amount shown at checkout should be reviewed before payment.
The detailed guidance used in this cluster lists USD 50 for an ordinary visitor route, USD 250 for a business visa and USD 30 for a transit visa. A US passport holder travelling for tourism may fall under a different multiple-entry fee. Student fees can vary by programme and duration. These figures are guidance, not a promise that every nationality sees the same total.
Fees can change, a route can depend on nationality and a partner may display service or payment charges separately. Check the category, passport, currency and final payable amount together. Do not choose a route only because it has a lower fee.
An ordinary visa is commonly listed at USD 50 for eligible non-US tourism travellers. US tourism travellers generally use the multiple-entry category at commonly USD 100.
No. The government visa fee and VistoRoute application-assistance/service charges are separate components.
Yes. Confirm the live total shown for your application before payment.
Check your passport validity, route, documents and current service estimate before submission. VistoRoute is an independent travel and visa information platform and does not decide visa approvals or border entry.
