Hi,

I'm travelling to Tanzania next year (Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam). A
few things I'd like to know...

I'm Canadian and need a visa. Can I get that at the airport upon
arrival? What about Kenya? I have to transit Nairobi on Swiss Air to
get to Dar es Salaam.

Can someone inform me on the currency regulations that are in place? I
read that you cannot export more than $1000 USD, but what if you're
bringing more than that in? Tanzania is actually my first stop on a
three week holiday and I do anticipate I will need more than $1000 for
the duration. I won't have had a good chance to spend a big portion of
it on my first stop. Would travellers checks be a way around their
export regulation? And is there a way to legally take in and out more
than $1000? I'm thinking I need $2500 to $3000.

Thanks in advance,
S.

I stand to be corrected here, but I suspect that the $1000 maximum
export number refers to Tanzanian citizens, not visitors. I've
regularly travelled to Tanzania and Uganda with more than that, and
never had any problems.

As far as I'm aware, visas are not available at Tanzanian airports. I
would contact the Tanzanian embassy in Canada as soon as possible
about a visa.

A few years ago we received visas both in Zanzibar and Arusha
airports. But we are Austrian and have no Tanzanian embassy in our
country. Maybe for people like us they issue visas.
