When we go from 1C to 1A do we need a visa? if so, is there a convenient place between the two terminals to get the visas? If not, we will wait to get visas when we come back into Kenya by land a week later.
Also, is it easy to get a Tanzania visa in the Kilimanjaro airport when we arrive there around 9:15 AM?
I'm thinking this would be easier than getting the visas before our trip, but we don't want to be caught too short on time to get to our next flight. Thanks!
As long as you follow the transit signs / take the transit bus (rather than the arrivals bus) when getting off the plane, you should be able to walk from 1C to 1A within the terminal building (airside) and so shouldn't need a visa. If AMS-NBO and NBO-JRO are on the same ticket, you should also be able to check baggage all the way through, should you so wish.
And, as long as your nationality is entitled to a visa on arrival in Tanzania, it shouldn't be a problem to get one at JRO. You just need to have the visa fee (US$50?) ready in cash. I think these days they will also take a digital photo, and perhaps fingerprints, of you as well.
