Application for a working and residence permit is advised to be submitted online prior to the applicant’s entry into Tanzania.
In the event that the applicant is in Tanzania at the time of the application, he is required to have a special pass which is USD 600. The special pass is usually issued to a foreigner living in or entering in Tanzania in order to afford him the opportunity to apply for and obtain the Permits or to complete any immigration formalities. The government fee for both residence and working permit is USD.1050 for the duration of two years.
