1. Constant trips since 2008 ;in and out of Tanzania,Last entrance was January 2013, on a normal tourist visa.The main reason was death in family of my husband and important matters to settle.The initail expity date was April 13th,It was extended to May after a request when the baby was born.A month was not sufficient.Are revist extended a further two months until July.
As soon as the baby was born on the 30 march 2013 ,the first registration attempt was made.The officer said it was not possible as they awaited data from Bagamoyo Hospital and it would be possible onlyy in July.There was another attempt close to my visa expiry and to no avail.We applied in July and were given a retun to collect date in August.The baby's passport form was thus incomplete without a birth certificate.There was another plea at immigration for an extension due to this and it was refused.I cannot travel without the baby.The baby needs a passport.My husband lives with me but is currently away on a tour guide project at national parks in Tanzania.He assisted with crossing the border for an extension until October.The birth certificate was processed on Monday and the passport forms have been delivered for finalities.Temporarily resolved until I secure a dependant pass.I do however think that there needs to be a re-evaluation on dealing with each case independantly.The matter was definately a violation of rights. Seperating a newborn from his mum is not justified
