REFERRED VISAS:
There are special visa regulations called a Referred Visa that apply ONLY to refugees, stateless persons, holders of Travel Documents, holders of Certificates of Identity, and passport holders of the following nations:
Abkhazia, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Chad, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Palestine State, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Tajikstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan
In this category, the visa applicant is advised to submit their application to the High Commission at least two months before their travel date, along with a contact name and number in Tanzania (preferably someone in Dar es Salaam). The High Commission also requires their Canadian resident status information (PR Card ID No. & date of issue, for example). Only a single-entry visa can be issued in this category. For all other visa applicants who do not fall under this category, nor under the list of visa exemptions mentioned earlier, the regular visa procedure applies.

Please note that once a visa has been issued,
it is non-refundable. If a visa expires before
it has been utilized, one must then submit
a new application and repeat the whole process

of a Tanzanian visa is in effect only a form
of pre-entry clearance. It does not guarantee
permission to enter Tanzania. The Immigration
Officer at the point of entry reserves the
right to grant or deny admission. Visa holders
are subject to normal immigration control
at the point of entry. They should therefore
carry with them, for possible presentation
to immigration officers, the documents submitted
with their applications.
