Tanzania
YOUR PASSPORT MUST BE VALID FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS AFTER YOUR ARRIVAL DATE IN TANZANIA!! Otherwise, they will not even let you on the airplane!
It is possible to get your visa at the border going into Tanzania or at the Kilimanjaro or Dar es Salaam airports when you arrive. Allow extra time for this process. You will need US$100 cash if you are a U.S. citizen or US$50 cash for all other nationals.
Alternatively, you can get your visa ahead of time. U.S. Citizens get the visa application from the U.S. Tanzania Embassy Web site or call them in Washington D.C. at 202-939-6125, and ask for a visa application. Other nationalities, check Tanzanian Embassies around the world for the nearest embassy.
