Go to Site Settings -> Page Layouts and Site Templates (in Look and Feel Section) and check if your custom template is selected there.

For those who are having issues with the custom tab not showing up when you want to apply a custom template to a site collection. Make sure that the setup language of the site collection is the same as the language from where you made the template. It took me over 12 hours to finally figure this out.
