US Embassy in Dar es Salaam:
New Visa Process for
Frequent Traveler
Beginning on November 2, 2009, the U.S. Embassy will waive the interview requirement for frequent travelers (B1/B2 visa). and also for students (F visa) and exchange participants (J visa) who are continuing their studies. Visa applicants who meet the requirements listed below may receive a visa by submitting their applications directly to the U.S. Embassy, without a personal interview. The requirements are as follows:
For B1/B2, F, and J visa categories:
- the previous visa was issued on or after November 1, 2007;
- all ten fingerprints were captured at a prior visa interview;
- the previous visa is valid or has expired within the last twelve months;
- the applicant is applying for exactly the same type of visa;
- the previous visa was issued by the U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam;
- the applicant’s name is currently the same as on the previous visa; and
- the previous visa does not have “clearance received” written on it.
Additionally for F and J visa categories:
- the applicant must have the same SEVIS number as on the previous visa, and the applicant must submit his/her official transcript.
Visa applications for applicants who meet all of these requirements will be accepted at the Consular Section only on Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. A courier may submit the applications on behalf of the applicant.
Applicants using this process must complete all necessary forms, submit one photograph, and pay the application fee at Citibank. See the U.S. Embassy website, usembassy.tanzania.gov, for more detailed information on the application process.
If the applicant is qualified, in most cases, the applicants may pick up their passport at the Embassy two days after submission. For example, a successful application submitted on Monday will result in the passport with new visa being ready for pick-up on Wednesday. This new process is a continuation of the U.S. Embassy’s commitment to “secure borders, open doors.”
Please Note: The use of this process does not guarantee visa issuance. In some cases, the Embassy may still require an applicant to appear for an in-person interview, especially if an application is incomplete or inaccurate.
Aina mpya ya maombi ya viza
(kibali cha kusafiria)
kwa wasafiri wa mara kwa mara
Kuanzia tarehe 02 mwezi wa 11, 2009 Ubalozi wa Marekani Tanzania utaondoa kipengele cha mahojiano kwa wale wanaosafiri mara kwa mara (viza aina ya B1/B2) na kwa wanafunzi (viza aina ya F1) na kwa washiriki wa ubadilishanaji ukufunzi/uzoefu(Viza aina ya J1) ambao wanaendelea na mafunzo / masomo yao. Kwa wale waombaji wa kibali cha kusafiria(viza) ambao wanafikia viwango vilivyoorodheshwa hapa chini wanaweza kupata kibali cha kusafiria(Viza) kwa kuleta maombi yao ubalozi wa Marekani bila ya kutokea kwa mahojiano binafsi. Mahitaji ni kama ifuatavyo:
Kwa vibali vya aina ya B1/B2, F NA J
· Kibali cha kusafiria(viza) kilichotolewa kati au baada ya tarehe 01-11-2007;
· Alama za vidole vyote kumi zilizochukuliwa kabla maojiano ya viza;
· kibali cha kusafiria (viza) bado kinatumika au kwisha muda wake ndani ya miezi kumi na mbili;
· Mwombaji anaomba aina hiyo hiyo ya kibali(viza);
· Kibali kibali kilichopita(Viza) Kilitolewa na Ubalozi wa Marekani Dar Es Salaam;
· Jina la Mwombaji ni lile lile lililotumika kwenye kibali cha kusafiria (viza) kilichopita; na
· Kibali kilichopita hakina maneno yafuatayo “Clearance Received” yakiwa yameandikwa juu ya kibali hicho.
Maelezo zaidi kwa vibali vya kusafiria aina ya F na J
· Mwombaji anatakiwa awe na SEVIS namba ile ile iliyotumika kwenye kibali cha kusafiria(viza)kilichopita, na mwombaji anatakiwa kuwakilisha repoti rasmi ya maendeleo yake ya shule(official transcripts).
Maombi ya vibali vya kusafiria(Viza) ambao wanakidhi vigezo vilivyotajwa yatapokelewa na kitengo cha uhamiaji siku za Jumatatu na Jumatano pekee kuanzia saa nane mpaka saa kumi kamili. Watoa huduma (courier) wanaweza kuleta maombi ya vibali vya kusafiria(viza) kwa niaba ya mwombaji.
Mwombaji anayetumia huduma hii anatakiwa kujaza fomu zote, kuleta picha moja,na kulipia malipo ya kibali cha kusafiria(viza) kwenye benki ya Citibank. Kwa maelezo zaidi juu ya maombi ya vibali vya kusafiri,tembelea tovuti yetu:http://Tanzania.usembassy.gov
Kama mwombaji ambaye amekidhi matakwa yote ya kupewa kibali cha kusafiria (viza), mara nyingi anaweza kuja kuchukua pasi yake ya kusafiria(passport) siku mbili baada ya kuwakilisha maombi yake ya viza. Kwa mfano, maombi yaliyowakilishwa na kufanikiwa jumatatu yatasababisha pasi ya kusafiria na kibali cha kusafiria(viza) kuwa tayari kuchukuliwa siku ya jumatano.
Utaratibu huu mpya ni muendelezo wa utendaji wa ubalozi wa Marekani katika “kulinda mipaka, kufungua milango.”
Zingatia yafuatayo: Matumizi ya utaratibu huu hayahakikishi utoaji wa kibali cha kusafiria(viza) kwa mwombaji. Baadhi ya maombi yanaweza kuhitaji mwombaji kutokea kwa mahojiano ya ana kwa ana, hasa kwa maombi ambayo hayajakamilika au yasiyokidhi haja. Kumbuka tafsiri ya Kiingereza ndiyo iliyo rasmi.
