Entry rules for South Sudan passport holders
Holders of a valid South Sudan passport can travel to Tanzania for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 90 days.

The 90-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Tanzania, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Tanzania immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
