# Tanzania passport to United Kingdom: Visa required

Current access classification: **Visa required** — Traditional visa required before travel.

Access data checked August 24, 2026. Evidence status: **official evidence collected**.

This page concerns ordinary short visits unless an official source states otherwise. Authorities apply the current rule, and individual circumstances can change the applicable treatment.

## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — United Kingdom visa-national ordinary passports require entry clearance** (Visa required)
  These ordinary-passport nationalities require a Standard Visitor visa or other appropriate entry clearance before travel.
  - Document-specific exceptions, airside transit, organised school parties, and temporary transition rules are not flattened into this ordinary visitor policy.
  - HKSAR and Macao SAR passports and qualifying Taiwan ID-number passports are modelled through ETA instead.
  - The official process requires an online application before travel and a visa application-centre appointment; it is not a universal eVisa route.
  - Marriage or civil-partnership visits and stays over six months can require different entry clearance.
