What US travel curbs mean as Tanzania seeks solution

Dodoma. The Tanzanian government has formally responded to the United States’ decision to impose partial travel restrictions on Tanzanian nationals, saying it will pursue diplomatic engagement while urging citizens to comply fully with visa regulations.

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation, the government confirmed that the US had placed Tanzania under a new category of partial entry restrictions, following a proclamation by President Donald Trump on December 16, 2025.
