Preparing Your Visa for DjangoCon Africa 2025

Are you planning to join us at DjangoCon Africa 2025 in beautiful Arusha, Tanzania? We’re excited to welcome developers and tech enthusiasts from across Africa and beyond! To make your journey smooth, here’s everything you need to know about securing a visa to enter Tanzania for the conference.

Do You Need a Visa?

Most international visitors to Tanzania, including those attending DjangoCon Africa, will need a visa. Visa requirements depend on your nationality, so it’s important to check the latest info from the Tanzania Immigration Department or your local Tanzanian embassy or consulate.

If you’re from one of the East African Community (EAC) or Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, you can usually enter Tanzania without a visa for up to 90 days. For others, a visa is necessary, but applying online is quick and straightforward.

How to Apply for Your Visa Online

We strongly recommend applying online before you travel to avoid waiting in long lines or facing unexpected delays at the airport.
