Common questions

Contact Our Team
Is a work permit the same as a residence permit?

A work permit relates to permission to work. A residence permit relates to permission to live in Tanzania for a specified purpose. We can discuss both processes with you.

Where is a Tanzania work permit application submitted?

The labour authority provides the Online Work Permit Application and Issuance System (OWAIS). We help you prepare for the process and clarify the next step with the employer or applicant.

Can I ask about several employees in one inquiry?

Yes. Tell us roughly how many people you are coordinating for and their anticipated start dates.
