Contact Our TeamIs 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.
