The Pitcairn Islands is a British Overseas Territory in the South Pacific Ocean, with a tiny permanent population of approximately 50 people — one of the world's most isolated and least populous territories. Pitcairn Islanders are British Overseas Territory Citizens and hold British passports. For Tanzania travel, they follow the same requirements as British passport holders.
What Passport Do Pitcairn Islands Residents Hold?
Pitcairn Islanders are British Overseas Territory Citizens (BOTCs) and are entitled to hold full British passports. For international travel, including Tanzania, Pitcairn residents travel on British passports issued by HM Passport Office in the United Kingdom. Their Tanzania visa requirements are identical to those of any British passport holder.
