I had everything lined up, airline schedule , visa with the proper dates etc. , then the domestic flight from Dar Es Salaam changed their date to a day earlier. The problem I am having is changing the date on my visa. Seems that since I have a visa in the system it will not let me even create another one. Any help on this . | ||

This is a very stupid part of this system. A visa allows one to go with 3 months of issue. Why set a date?? | |||

Why not get your visa on arrival in TZ? | |||

It takes time. And if you have to catch a flight to camp and arrive before dark it becomes a problem. | |||

I may have to, I'm taking all my records showing I had it when the flight schedule changed, the outfitter is giving me a letter stating the flight changed, the old and new letter of invite, if that does not work then I'll have to. Ole well , it's not going to rain on my parade. I've wanted to hunt in Tanzania to long for that to dampen my spirits. | |||

The validity of a visa is the time frame in which it has to utilized and the effective duration of stay starts on the day when your passport is scanned at the entry point. | |||

Well, their system getting worse. We used to take the passport to the embassy, and get our visa on the spot. Last year they made it on line. Took 2-3 days to get it. Now 10 days in and a friend says he has not heard from them. | |||

It clearly says on the Visa Grant Notice, "Visitor must not arrive before the Visa start date." Next time, I'm thinking about instead of putting the exact dates, add a week before and a week after incase there is a change. | |||

That sounds utterly stupid! Every visa I have seen has an issue date, and a validity on it. Visa start date is the day you arrive at country. | |||

I thought it was good for 3 or 6 months, but I'd have to go back and look. I always use a service to get the visas. | |||

Don't bother. Just got mine and has no mention of arriving date. Says I am allowed 90 days in country from the date of arrival. | |||
