Lifting of COVID-19-related restrictions for entry into Germany

From Saturday, 11 June 2022, all COVID-19-related restrictions for entry into Germany have preliminarily been lifted. Travel from Tanzania is now permitted for all travel purposes (including tourism and visits). For entry into Germany no proof of vaccination, recovery or testing is required any longer.

Visas as required for entry into Germany may be applied for with the German Embassy in Dar Es Salaam for all travel purposes. Due to the high demand delays may occur in the issuing of visas.

It is highly recommended to start your visa application process for so-called Schengen visas (short-term visas up to 90 days) at least one month before the intended travel date with booking an appointment at the locally competent German TLS Visa Application Center in Dar Es Salaam.
