gud, to get work permit it will take around 2 to 3 months

HI
TWO MONTHS OR LESS ,MAKE A GOOD SURVEY BEFORE YOU SIGN ANY CONTRACT.

Get further details about the company before you join or else see the posts in this forum it may help you.

work permit takes about 3 months

I guess it would depend on where you live but that seems a little low to live on in Dar? What do others think?

My work permit took 3 months

to get work permit it took's not less than 3 months,provided you hav all the documents ready.and work permit fee also increased in the FY budget sessions in Tanzania.

I have obtained two working permits upto this moment - the first took almost 3 months , the second - only ca. 3 weeks .
So it seems eveything depend of the company where are you working and their contacts.
Some people are telling that is more easier to obtain directly TZ passport as to obtain a permit ......

boss how can u get tz passport, even if u CAN, make sure it is originall.bcz some people say they can make but im not sure it will be original. and for permit it is easy ,if ur company has good contact with immigration department.it will take max 3 month, AND FROM AUG 2011 PERMIT FEES RISES FOR CLASS "B"(EMPLOYEE) US$ 1500 FROM 620 AND FOR CLASS"A"(INVESTOR) US $ 2000 FROM 1600. TAKE CARE

I agree 100% with taufiq.

If it`s original first you shall see your name in the newspaper ....naturalisation after 5 years living in tz ....
