How do you get a visa for Tanzania from Algeria?
Algerians need a visa for Tanzania, and it is an e-Visa 100% online on the official portal visa.immigration.go.tz — no embassy and no pre-travel biometrics. Algeria is on the normal route (not “referral”): tourist e-Visa single entry, $50, up to 90 days (visa on arrival is also possible). The same visa covers mainland Tanzania AND Zanzibar. ⚠️ For Zanzibar: before departure, check the archipelago's own formalities (travel insurance, per-night infrastructure tax) on the official portal inbound.visitzanzibar.go.tz — they are separate from the visa. Yellow fever only if transiting 12h+ through a risk country (Nairobi, Addis, Entebbe are). Use only the official .go.tz domain.
