The Tanzanian government has revealed that it is in consultation with the U.S. government to address immigration concerns raised by the Trump administration, which has placed Tanzania among 36 countries under consideration for a travel ban.
“I would like to inform the public that the Government of Tanzania, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has already begun consultations with our counterparts in the United States to identify areas that need improvement, particularly those related to consular matters. This is part of our efforts to ensure that Tanzania is not among the countries whose citizens will be restricted from entering the United States,” the Tanzanian government said on June 18, 2025.
U.S. media have reported that the Trump administration has set a deadline of Wednesday, June 18, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. (East Africa) for the targeted countries, including Tanzania, to submit a remediation plan. This plan must include actions to address ongoing vetting and screening concerns.
