How the count works for Americans in Tanzania

You may stay up to 90 days. The recorded maximum applies to the current stay. Stretch does not assume that leaving creates a fresh allowance; check the evidence, entry stamp and any re-entry conditions. Stretch sets your must-exit date the day you log the entry and reminds you at 14, 7, 3 and 1 days out.

Before you fly

Stretch publishes no independently sourced arrival card or application checklist for this route. Use the official check labelled in the sources section before travelling.

Notes from the rulebook

Tanzania Visa Guidelines: US passport holders are the one nationality that cannot use the Ordinary Visa — they must apply for the Multiple Visa (100 USD, valid one year). The stay is the same: "in each visit a holder may stay in the country for a maximum period of three months (90 days)". The one-year validity is the visa's life, not a stay allowance.
