Tanzanian missions do not issue passports; citizens apply to the Immigration Department, online through the eServices portal or in person in Tanzania. Applicants under 16 need parental or guardian consent.
Where to apply in Australia
Online only through eservices.immigration.go.tz; the Jakarta Embassy and honorary consulates do not issue passports. No resident mission in Australia; the mission accredited from abroad is the Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia (Jl. Iskandarsyah II No.89A, Melawai, Jakarta Selatan; jakarta@nje.go.tz; +62 11 720 2410). Honorary Consulates exist in Perth (WA, also covering QLD, NSW, NT), Melbourne (VIC and TAS) and Adelaide (SA) but their pages offer no consular services beyond representation. The Jakarta Embassy pages do not name Australia in the text read, so its accreditation to Australia rests on the Australian government listing.
Contact details for every office are on the page of the embassy and consulates of Tanzania.
