TLDR : Answer Summary
A Tanzanian citizen facing new visa application requirements in Vietnam needs to obtain a residency or work permit for their visa to Thailand. Additionally, they can explore the option of applying for a tourist visa from another country or seeking approval from the foreign affairs department in Bangkok.

If that's what they're saying, I think you're gonna hafta go to another country to try to get a tourist visa for thailand.

I thought Tanzania was always on the list of restricted countries from all consulates in Asia.

You can get an approval letter from the foreign affairs department in Bangkok. It only takes 3 weeks(actually 6-8 weeks)

Start by telling which country you're from.
