Note: ID Wizard is not affiliated with any government authority, including the Immigration Services Department (ISD) or Tanzania Immigration Department. Tanzania has issued biometric e-passports since 2016. Tanzania passport holders require a Schengen visa to travel to EU/Schengen countries — the same 35×45mm ICAO photo format is required for Schengen visa applications. Religious headwear (e.g. hijab) is permitted under ICAO guidelines provided the full face from chin to forehead is clearly visible. Always verify current requirements on the official ISD portal (immigration.go.tz) before applying.
