Dodoma. Foreign visitors to Tanzania will soon be required to purchase mandatory travel insurance upon entry, following a proposed amendment to the Insurance Act, CAP 394, unveiled during the 2025/26 national budget presentation.
Minister for Finance Dr. Mwigulu Nchemba told Parliament that the proposed scheme mirrors the model that was introduced in Zanzibar in October 2024, and aims to enhance protection for international travellers while strengthening Tanzania’s health and tourism infrastructure.
