I want to say, "Asante Sana", again to Mr.Eliud Mbowe who helped me navigate the online Visa Application. I am a Mzee and am not too technologically adept. Mr. Mbowe was not only helpful, but very patient with me.

Nashukuru Sana! There are times to criticize and then there are times to praise. Even with my bad Swahili, the Embassy staff was helpful and patient. I've written a harsh review before - not out of hate but out of anger and disappointment. I can't wait to receive my passport, there is so much to do back home. Thanks a lot.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

When I applied for the Tanzania visa they only gave me 4 visa choices. NO choice was single entry. (I need only a single entry.) Later the application warned NOT to apply for the incorrect visa!! What visa should I choose to apply?

Dear Tawna, thank you for writing to us. Due to existing agreements between the Tanzania and US, American citizens can only apply for multiple entry visa. Karibu sana Tanzania.

The recommended time is at least 6 months. You email the Ta zanian embassy for more information. They're very efficient in email communication.

I have submitted the renewal passport for my son, name Rehaan Virani , receipt number 23433333 on 21/3/19. I have not yet received it. Whats the status of it , please let me know.

It definitely helps more if you have an email or two of the workers there, that way you get to stay in contact with them daily. That's what I did when I renewed my passport. Had every step knocked down in 2019 couldn't go for biometrics till may 3rd this year. But I was in constant communication and some help fill you in on the status of your application.

There are a few, and depends on what you've had before, plus where and when you plan to travel. Plus you may consider a malaria prophylactic. I recommend Travelers Medical Clinic https://www.travelersmedical.com/

See their website. It has the information. I got a Tanzanian visa recently. I went on a Tuesday and there was no wait. I had to shell out $17 for parking and the submission took only few minutes. If you can, take metro or uber.
