Tanzania Health Form

The Tanzanian authorities introduced a short health declaration for all incoming travelers to Tanzania during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The form is mandatory to be completed before arriving in Tanzania and is available entirely online.

Completing the Tanzanian Public Health Surveillance Form takes only a couple of minutes and can be done using any Internet-accessed electronic device.

Many countries worldwide introduced health declarations as an additional safety measure to tackle the coronavirus pandemic and control the spread of new cases. The health declaration then ensures the safety of both incoming visitors and Tanzanian citizens. Since travelers are required to provide some essential personal, travel, and health details, the Tanzanian officials are able to immediately contact a traveler who may have been infected or contacted an infected person.

Every applicant who successfully submits the Tanzanian Health Form will receive its confirmation to the email address provided when filling out the online form.

Who must complete the Tanzania Health Form?

The Tanzania Health Surveillance Form is mandatory for everyone arriving in Tanzania. Regardless of age, nationality, and vaccination status, every person needs to complete the health form before the planned trip.

Children traveling to Tanzania should complete a separate health form for Tanzania. Nevertheless, their legal guardians or parents need to make the application on their behalf. They also must ensure that all the data of their underage travel companion is correct and up-to-date.

When should you submit the Tanzania Health Form application?

You must submit your Tanzania Health Surveillance Form application within 24 hours before the planned arrival. It is extremely important not to complete the declaration earlier since all the data provided must be up-to-date. Filling out the online declaration before this specific time frame may result in some problematic issues upon crossing the Tanzanian borders or even denying entry.

The Tanzanian authorities introduced the requirement of a specific time to complete the form to ensure the safety of all incoming people and Tanzanian nationals.
