REQUIRED TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
Passport: Your passport is the most important document that you have. Be sure to have a couple of photocopies of it, and have a copy in each piece of your luggage. If you currently have a passport, check NOW to be sure it will be valid on your dates of travel. Note that some countries will not permit you to enter if the remaining passport validity is less than six months. You should not carry your passport on your person when you are out in the city or village. It is best to keep it in a safe place in your room.
Tanzanian Visa: A VISA permits you to visit a country for a specified purpose and a limited time. It will be stamped into your passport upon entry into Tanzania. These cost $100 USD and are valid for one year of travel. Payments can only be made with cash. Make sure to use unmarked, crisp, clean bills dated after 2004. No paperwork is required prior to entry because US citizens are readily issued travelers visas. Use the following information on your visa application: Note: Be sure to mark visitor, NOT volunteer or unpaid worker on your application.

Travelers’ Insurance: It is a good precaution to register with an international travelers’ insurance program for the duration of your trip – especially one that provides evacuation insurance.
Vaccination Record: An international certificate of vaccination may be required to enter or exit the country. It is a yellow card, created by the WHO (World Health Organization), and should be available wherever you get your yellow fever vaccine.
