Something not right?
Description
Exiting TZN - very easy. Park around back of the building then enter through far door marked “Entry”.
1. Present Yellow Fever Vaccination document.
2. Any bags you have must be scanned as you walk through the metal detector.
3. Fill out exit card and get stamped out. We used a Carnet for the vehicle so got the stamp in the office to the right just past the Immigration exit door. Don’t forget to bring evidence of payment of road tax with you.
4. Show both documents again at the guard house by the exit gate.
Everyone was exceedingly helpful.
After a very short ‘no-mans-land’, park in front of the low stone/concrete single-story buildings and walk through the passageway between them to the two-story buildings behind it. Most services are in the middle building marked “Administration” (but you really can’t see it is marked ‘Administration’ until you are down the stairs). Work your way around to the back of the building to the “Enter” sign. You are in the right place if there is a very peaceful central courtyard/atrium.
1. Health screening is just inside the building to the right. Once you pass there, you enter the main Passenger Hall.
2. Immigration and visas are on your left, customs is straight across. East Africa Visa was easily obtainable with USD cash.
3. Carnet stamps were a bit more complicated as we were charged VAT for spare fuel and LPG we were carrying. Suggest having KSH or M-pesa with you to pay any fees as we encountered all sorts of problems by not having either available.
4. Show proof of payment to KRA (VAT fees) and carnet at guard house by gate to enter Kenya.
Overall officials were very helpful and professional. Total time was perhaps 1.5 to 2 hours.
