It may be hard. As a foreigner you hardly get a work permit. At first comapines have to hire qualified Tanzanians. And the proof that no qualified Tanzanian is available is impossible. That is the point. Better you start your own business, egg. a small food shop.

Wish you all the best. Regards from Germany.

If that were so easy many foreigners would easily move to Tanzania. Believe me, according to the law qualified Tanzanians have to be hired first.

Hi Floriana,
I agree with Berlin1973. since new government has succeeded getting a work permit is very difficult now a days. its taking more cost and also huge costs involved but it can be rejected and wasted the money.
If you have a good reference here who can guarantee you a job and take the responsibility of providing work permit, might be helpful. There are agents here who also help employees/employers getting work permits. But moving here without a job offer, reference or any speciall skills, isn't a good idea.
Best of Luck

Dear Hashu64,

Generally speaking, I would like to work as a clerk in a commercial/sales department. I have a preference for the tourism sector (I consider anyway any good proposal coming from different fields)
In the touristic field I was looking for clerk position in a travel agency or in an hotel or resort (again for commercial/sales department). In the last case I can be employed also for front office since I have some experience also in that.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best Regards
