By Mandari Travel

Planning to travel from Tanzania to Dubai? Whether it’s for a vacation, shopping trip, business meeting, or stopover, getting your documents in order is the first and most important step. Dubai is one of the top international destinations for Tanzanians, and with the right preparation, your trip can be smooth and enjoyable.

At Mandari Travel, we help Tanzanian travelers handle all aspects of their Dubai trip — from visas and flights to hotel bookings and transfers. Below is a checklist of the essential travel documents for Tanzanians visiting Dubai, along with some helpful tips to avoid delays or disappointments.

1. Valid Tanzanian Passport

Your passport is the most important document when traveling internationally. Make sure it meets the following criteria:

Valid for at least 6 months from your planned date of entry into Dubai
Contains at least two blank pages for visa stamps
Not damaged or torn

Tip: Renew your passport early if it’s close to expiry.

2. Dubai Tourist Visa

Tanzanian passport holders must obtain a visa before entering Dubai. The type of visa you need depends on the length and purpose of your stay.

Common Visa Types for Tanzanians:

14-day tourist visa – For short visits and stopovers
30-day tourist visa – Ideal for holidays and business trips
90-day visa – For longer visits or extended stays
Transit visa (48/96 hours) – For travelers stopping over in Dubai

Mandari Travel offers fast and affordable visa processing. We’ll guide you through every step and ensure your documents are submitted correctly.

3. Flight Itinerary

You’ll need to present your flight booking confirmation during your visa application and sometimes upon arrival in Dubai. This shows proof of entry and exit.

Tip: Mandari Travel can help you find affordable flights from Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro, or Zanzibar to Dubai — including options with Emirates, FlyDubai, and Qatar Airways.

4. Hotel Booking Confirmation

UAE immigration may request to see your accommodation details, especially if you’re staying for more than a few days.

Provide printed confirmation of your hotel reservation or host details
If you’re staying with a relative, have their UAE ID or visa ready (if required)

Mandari Travel can assist with hotel bookings, ensuring you stay at reputable places that meet visa requirements.

5. Proof of Financial Support

While not always required, it’s good to carry evidence that you can support yourself during your stay. This could include:

Recent bank statements
Credit/debit cards
Sponsorship letter (if someone is hosting you in Dubai)

6. Travel Insurance (Recommended)

Though not mandatory for short visits, travel insurance is highly recommended. It covers:

Medical emergencies
Lost luggage
Travel delays
