Visas

Jen rounded up the necessary documents needed for VISAs from Ajay and Jeremiah, and I met up with her last week to pick them up from her. One benefit of living in Washington DC is the convenience of hopping on the metro to deliver the documents in person. Less worry about having all of our passports in limbo in the U.S. mail. The Tanzanian embassy is located at 2139 R Street, a few blocks west of the Dupont Circle Metro (photos). It takes 5 business days to process, so Jen or I should be able to pick them up next Monday.

A tourist visa application can be obtained online from the Tanzanian Embassy website. In addition you need:
--a passport (must be > 6 months before expiration)
--$50
--2x2 inch passport photo
--copy of travel itinerary and/or plane ticket
--evidence of being able to financially support yourself for the duration of stay. This could be a bank statement or letter from bank stating you are not a deadbeat
--self addressed envelope with correct postage for return of passport/visa if it needs to be mailed
