In tanzania did they ask for vaccination certificates of the yellow vaccine in arrival ?
Yes — in Tanzania, a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is required in certain situations. FB
Here are the details:
✅ When the certificate is required
- If you are arriving from a Yellow Fever endemic country.
- If you have a layover or transit through a Yellow Fever endemic country for 12 hours or more.
- If you come from a country declared by Tanzania’s health authorities as having Yellow Fever risk.
🚫 When it is not required
- If you’re coming directly (non-stop) from a country that is not Yellow Fever endemic.
- If your transit is less than 12 hours and you don’t leave the airport/transit area, depending on the rules.
- There are some age exemptions: children under 1 year, and adults over 60 years. Also medical exemptions can apply with official documentation.
⚠️ Important Notes
- If you are required to have the certificate but don’t produce it, you may be vaccinated on arrival or refused entry or kept under observation.
