Common questions
I did not find a Tanzanian official rule making a U.S. visa a visa-waiver document for Chinese passport holders. The outcome remains based on the Chinese passport itself: China is listed as eligible for online visa or visa on arrival.
IATA/Timatic-derived information lists Hong Kong SAR passports as visa-exempt for 3 months. Tanzania's official guidance does not list Hong Kong in the visa-on-arrival country list, so this item is principally based on the Timatic-derived source.
Generally no. Tanzania's official guidance exempts Commonwealth nationals, with listed exceptions that do not include Singapore; IATA/Timatic-derived information lists Singapore as visa-exempt for 90 days.
It is not visa-free. The United States is listed for online visa or visa on arrival; however, U.S. passport holders visiting for tourism/holiday must apply for a multiple-entry visa even if planning one entry.
