Dar es Salaam, 24 April 2022 - The Philippine Embassy in Nairobi successfully concluded a consular outreach mission in Tanzania on 24 April 2022, the fourth of a series of outreach missions it is conducting timed with the 2022 overseas voting for the Philippine national elections.

The Embassy's team composed of Second Secretary and Consul Maria Rosanna O. Josue, and Attaché Marco Antonio Angelo S. Santos, in coordination with the Filipino Community in Tanzania and the Kaibigan–Filipino Association in Tanzania, provided passport, notarial, and other consular services to Filipinos in Tanzania.  

Mobile voting for the 2022 Presidential elections was also available to qualified registered Filipino overseas voters.

During the mission the Embassy team also encouraged the Filipino community to register in its overseas Filipino mapping project and showed its three-part video interview series, “Women Who Make Change,” earlier released on the occasion of the 2022 International Women’s Day. 

Tanzania, an East African nation along the Indian Ocean, is host to around three hundred Overseas Filipinos, who are mostly professionals or skilled workers.

Diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Tanzania were established in 1961.
