Main consular services
For Vietnamese citizens in Tanzania
- Passport issuance, renewal and replacement; travel documents to return home after losing a passport.
- Civil status registration: births, marriages, deaths, and recording events registered locally.
- Nationality matters (confirmation, renunciation, restoration of Vietnamese nationality).
- Consular certification, legalisation and notarial services.
- Citizen protection in case of accidents, arrest or lost documents.
For foreigners
- Visas: most travellers now apply for an e-visa online at evisa.gov.vn; embassy visas are mainly for diplomatic or official passports, or for applicants who already hold an approval letter.
- Consular legalisation of local documents for use in Vietnam.
Do Tanzanians need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Tanzania is not on the Vietnam visa exemption list, so Tanzanians need a visa. The usual option is the e-visa: valid for up to 90 days, single or multiple entry, with a government fee of USD 25 (single) or USD 50 (multiple), applied for online at evisa.gov.vn. See our Vietnam e-visa service.
For long-term visas (work, family visit, investment) or a visa on arrival, you first need a visa approval letter approved by the Vietnam Immigration Department.
Legalising Tanzanian documents for use in Vietnam
Degrees and police certificates (for work permits), marriage and birth certificates issued in Tanzania must be authenticated before Vietnamese authorities accept them.
Tanzania is currently not a party to the Apostille Convention, so consular legalisation still applies: documents are usually certified by Tanzania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then legalised at the Embassy of Vietnam in Dar es Salaam, and finally translated into Vietnamese and certified in Vietnam. Ask the embassy in advance about your specific documents.
Info Travel can assist with consular legalisation, notarised translation and work permits in Vietnam.

FAQ
What are the opening hours of the Vietnamese embassy in Tanzania?
The MOFA portal does not list opening hours. Check the official website in the table above or call ahead; the embassy is usually closed on Vietnamese and local public holidays.
Do I need an appointment?
It is best to contact the embassy by phone or email first to confirm the documents required and when applications are received, so you do not have to make several trips.
Should I apply at the embassy or get an e-visa?
For tourism or short business trips, the e-visa is faster and more convenient. An embassy visa suits diplomatic or official passport holders, or applicants who already have an approval letter.
