Does anyone know if it's possible to buy east Africa visa at the land border crossing between Tanzania and Kenya? I would be very grateful for the information.

I do not know the answer to your question. What I do know is that Kenya is stopping visa on arrival from 1 Sep 2015. So from 1 Sep, I doubt you will get any visa at the border.

I too don't know the answer but two days ago I applied last week for EAVISA on line through lusaka and was given full confirmation by email within 2 days. Very efficient... Expect if you have the visa you will get it??? Note you must get visa from country you are arriving from.. since I am in Zambia I applied in lusaka embassy.... they then send you a full copy of visa etc etc and you pay on arrival... good luck

Travellinandi: thanks for the answer, did you aplly for the EASVISA at Kenya embassy in Lusaka? I will be in Tanzania by the time so I could easily pick it up in Dar es Salaam but of course there is lack of information on that topic at their website

By the way I found information from February 2015 saying that Tanzania has joined East African Community and now it's involved in EAVISA but I'm not sure whether it's true or not

The East African visa is for Kenya-Uganda-Rwanda. Tanzania is not part of the visa.

Your news article is from a reputed source. I tried calling the Tanzanian Embassy in New Delhi (India) but nobody is answering the phone.
