Countries Tanzanian passport holders can visit with a Schengen visa

121 without an embassy visit (visa-free, on arrival or by e-visa or eTA), against 102 on the passport alone: a Schengen visa adds 19 more countries and makes entry easier in 4 others. Counts are from Visafar's checked rules and the open passport dataset, last checked 8 October 2026.

To some countries, yes. A valid Schengen visa unlocks visa-free, visa-on-arrival or e-visa entry to 19 more countries for Tanzanian nationals that the passport does not open on its own. It does not affect entry to the country that issued the visa, and it is for short tourist stays, not work or study.

Mexico, Aruba, Curaçao, Cyprus, Guatemala, Honduras, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Montenegro, Panama, among others. The full list, with the length of stay and any conditions for each, is above and in the live Visafar tool.

Rules vary by destination. Some accept any valid Schengen visa; a few require it to be multiple-entry, previously used, or to have a minimum validity left on your travel date. Each destination card notes its condition, and Visafar links the official source.

Passport-alone status is drawn from an aggregated passport-index dataset, and the unlock rules are hand-checked against government sources, but rules change without notice. Always confirm with the destination’s immigration authority before you book.
