Entry details
Holders of a Cape Verde passport get a visa on arrival — no embassy visit needed when visiting Tanzania. The Cape Verde passport currently ranks #135 of 199 worldwide, with 65 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.
Tanzania is notably open to foreign passports, admitting 173 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #130 with 68 open destinations. Both sit in Africa, where regional agreements often shape entry rules. The arrangement is reciprocal — Tanzania citizens face the same visa on arrival requirement in the other direction.
In the opposite direction, Tanzania citizens travelling to Cape Verde face: visa on arrival.
