We received our Tanzania visa today, we applied 3 weeks and 1 day ago. For the airline confirmation I attached the American Airlines/Qatar trip summary page which showed all our flights. I use a MacBook and adjusted the size of the photos in Preview. Open the image in Preview, then adjust its size by percentage, scaling proportionally.

For Tanzania, eventually just needed to keep trying with files under 300KB. Finally worked.
For Kenya, the Tanzania files did not work. Kenya wanted much higher resolution files around 1MB. The small files kept failing without explanation when on the group application. Switched to individual application and the SW told me needed higher res. So redid the pics of passport and just did PC camera selfies, and it worked. My approval came back quickly. My wife's never did. I contacted the Kenya help and they sent me a .pdf file of the approval. They were very responsive. A side note...when I tried just checking the Kenya SW status, during log on, it would do the 2 level security check by sending my PC email a code, but it only allowed 60 sec to respond. My PC did not receive the email within 60 sec so I could not get logged in. Hence why I resorted to their help staff.
Tanzania visa you need google chrome , just keep trying. I had trouble uploading my return flight information and had to go to a postal annex for help. Thankfully they helped me and I finished the application there to make sure it was done correctly. Remember to print out the application pages. Tanzania loves their actual paperwork and they are in no hurry to get you from Kenya across the border so be prepared with all the paperwork. Your guides will help you .
Hi All, I was able to get my Visa and my son's done thru the payment page. I had to use the link at the bottom of the Payments page, my issue is that the payment is pending and I can't complete. There was a comment I found that said it will be a day before processing. Anyone else have this?
Another problem I hope I didn't create, I uploaded my passport copy straight up as opposed to a sideways copy. Has any one else goofed up. I tried to go back a page to upload a fresh copy but won't let me.
SueMS - I also had to use the link but received the payment confirm right away. It did take a few tries even going back to start page and clicking through to payment page without having to reload any files.

I also use “Preview” on my Apple computer to adjust file sizes of a photo. It’s easy.
