Flight leaving country for a layover before coming back. Do I need a multiple entrance visa? - Ethnic woman standing with little boy near entrance in ruined old building in countryside and looking away while holding hand of little child

I'm planning a trip to Tanzania. While in the country I'll take a flight to visit Zanzibar before coming home.

Basically, I will book the following flights with the corresponding layovers :

Home country > Netherland (AMS: Amsterdam) > Tanzania (JRO: Moshi)
Tanzania (JRO: Moshi) > Kenya (NBO: Nairobi) > Tanzania (ZNZ: Zanzibar)
Tanzania (ZNZ: Zanzibar) > Kenya (NBO: Nairobi) > Home country

During the 2nd flight, I will leave Tanzania before coming back, even though I will stay in the airport. Does this mean that I need a multiple entrance visa? Or does a single entrance visa work for the whole trip?



Best Answer

If you're leaving Tanzania on an international flight, then you will pass immigration and get a stamp, that's an exit, and your visa (if it's a single entry) will be consumed.

Your arrival back in Tanzania, from Kenya, will be considered an international flight, so you will pass immigration, and then you will need a visa, which will be expired already if your visa is single entry as I just said.

So, you will need a multi-entry visa.
