Visas & Customs Requirements

Employment:

There are three types of resident permits available in Tanzania.

Selfemployed foreigners (investors) are required to apply for a Class A permit; while foreign employees must be approved for a Class B permit. Class C permits are relevant for other categories of residents, such as students and missionaries.

Applications for A and C permits should be forwarded directly to the director of Immigration Services while applications for Class B permits should be forwarded to the director of immigration Services through the Labour Commissioner.
