This might be a stupid question...but I have to ask!

I am a British citizen working in Tanzania. I have a class B work permit. I plan to go to the UK for a couple of weeks next month and will then return to Tanzania to continue my job. Will I have any problems at immigration at Dar es Salaam airport? Particularly on re-entry? I'm assuming I don't have to buy another visa if my work permit is still valid?

Anyone with any experience of this?
Thanks

Jamani,

If you have a work permit, you'll must have had a residence visa stamped on your passport. This is a multiple-entry visa and is valid for the term of your work permit (generally 2 years). Therefore to answer your question - you'll have no problems with the immigration or will not be required to get another visa, provided you have the multiple-entry visa. Remember to carry the yellow fever card!

Travel safe and assured!

I am sure life is treating you well.
About your query of visiting UK and coming back- until your visa is not getting expired shortly u can travel and reenter as many times as you want.

Wat you do in Arusha?
I am in Dar-es-salaam and working for a Pharmaceutical company here as a Sales Manager.

Its good to meet you.
Have fun
