The Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) is a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic Ocean. Residents of the Falkland Islands hold British passports and follow the same Tanzania visa requirements as British citizens.
What Passport Do Falkland Islands Residents Hold?
Falkland Islands residents are British Overseas Territory Citizens (BOTCs) and are entitled to hold a full British passport. For international travel, including Tanzania, Falkland Islanders travel on a British passport issued by HM Passport Office in the United Kingdom. This means their Tanzania visa requirements are identical to those of any other British passport holder.
