Entry/Exit Requirements
"A passport and visa are required for travel to Tanzania. U.S.
citizens with valid passports may obtain a visa either before arriving
in Tanzania or at any port of entry staffed by immigration officials.
The current fee for a visa has recently risen to $100 for a 12-month
multiple-entry tourist visa to reciprocate the fee the United States
charges visa applicants. This could rise again as the U.S. application
fee rises. Some border posts and embassies may have technical difficulty
in producing the 12-month visa. They may make hand-written annotations
on the computer printed visa. U.S. passports should be valid for
a minimum of six months beyond the date the visa is obtained, whether
it is acquired beforehand or at the port of entry. Also, foreigners
are required to show their passports when entering or exiting Zanzibar.
In February 2008, Tanzania reportedly introduced a universal requirement
for proof of yellow fever vaccinations for all travelers. The Ministry
of Health and Ministry of Foreign Affairs give conflicting advice
on this. The website of the Embassy of Tanzania in Washington, DC
states that all travelers must have proof of vaccination. According
to reports, this requirement is sporadically and unpredictably enforced
for arriving international flights. The United States Embassy in
Tanzania advises American citizen visitors to have proof of vaccination
to avoid possible complications upon arrival." - US State Dept
