Officially, you will need an additional visa. If you have started your trip in Tanzania, then crossed to Kenya, and then travel back to Tanzania, you will need to apply for a new visa to enter Tanzania. From our experience though, you don’t have to apply for a new visa before. From many clients we have the experience that the visa was simply extended. And even if that is not possible, you can simply purchase a new visa at the border which only takes a few minutes. So in any case: You don’t have to apply for a new visa before.
