Zanzibar Travel Insurance
When will the new rule for mandatory travel insurance apply?
Effective 1 October 2024, all foreign visitors entering Zanzibar will be required to have travel insurance for the duration of their stay.
Where can the travel insurance be obtained?
Travellers should visit the official Zanzibar tourism website at https://visitzanzibar.go.tz to complete their insurance application. Travellers will receive a QR code before their journey, which will enable them to purchase Insurance through Zanzibar Insurance Corporation.
Do travellers still require any other travel insurance cover for their trip to Zanzibar?
It is essential to understand the coverage provided by ZICโs inbound travel insurance and how it differs from a comprehensive policy.
ZIC's inbound travel insurance coverage begins upon arrival in Zanzibar and lasts up to 92 days. We recommend that travellers still take out a comprehensive travel insurance policy from a supplier such as TIC.
How much will the ZIC travel insurance cost?
44 USD per visitor
Documentation?
Travellers will receive their policy documents via email and we strongly advise to carry a physical copy during their trip.
