Burning Visa question Re: Tanzania
On another topic regarding Tanzanian Visa and whether to obtain in US before leaving or to get it there at airport, the overwhelming retort was to get it there at airport while waiting for luggage to be offloaded. OK, good and well!!!
Our companions on the trip ask whether the Kilimanjaro airport has a Visa office and whether it will be open when we land there on July 16 at around 11:10 PM at night. We will be flying from Nairobi, leaving at around 10PM and arriving Kilimanjaro airport about 11:10 PM.
We certainly don't want to take any chances and want to be absolutely sure we can get it there.
Thanks for your comments and replies.

As long as flights are arriving, Immigration and Visa Purchase are open, even for that late Turkish flight that gets in after 1pm
And, yes... Kenya/Tanzania, different countries, so is an 'international' flight.

OK all, I am embarrassed ! When I wrote what I did, I was thinking USA to Europe or USA to Asia with flight times between 10-17 hours. Yes , I will be in Africa and I realize that flight times between countries are not much....or flying from , say, Vienna to Berlin would not be a very long flight, although I never really thought of it as flying international. I guess it is , however. You must admit that it seems weird...like flying next door is International?? OK, I get it. End of conversation!! Thanks so much for your gracious replies to my faux pas.

No need to feel embarrased.
Flying between NBO/JRO is about 50/min.
It's like a flight between LGA or JFK (NYC) and YYZ (Toronto)... about 1-1.5/hrs, is 'international' which most rarely consider, but still two different countries and passports required.
Enjoy your holiday.

OK, thanks for commiserating with me. You are certainly a wealth of knowledge. I take it you live in NY. I live in a suburb of Los Angeles but grew up in Maspeth, Queens, N.Y.
How many times have you visited Africa?
