Visas
Certain destinations require U.S. citizens to obtain a visa prior to entry. If you are traveling to Tanzania you will need a visa. Visas generally are valid for only 90 days from when they are issued. We recommend Passport Visa Express, a third party travel document company. Use this link and enter your zip code to bring you to the location for your consulate.
Passports
Passports should be valid with at least 6 months validity after the end of your trip. If you need to have it renewed please allow sufficient time. U.S. citizens may refer to www.state.gov or the applicable foreign consulate for further details if you need more information.
