Bonjour CHEYO,

Merci pour votre réponse.
Avez vous trouvé votre travail à partir de votre pays d'origine ou sur place?
Vivez-vous dans une communauté d'expatriés ou parmi les tanzaniens?
Le coût de la vie est-il vraiment exorbitant?
Bonne journée

Christine

Hello,

I am currently living in California, USA, looking to move to Zanzibar.
I lived in South Africa for 30 years, US for 20. On a recent visit to Zanzibar, I started looking into options to work and possibly retire there. Buying or renting a small hotel would be prefereable, although I am also researching jobs in healthcare as I am a registered nurse.
The practicalities of visas, moving costs and cost of living is of great interest to me, if anyone has any links it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Maggi Rodger

Hello
Karibu Tanzania
Well you can search TripAdvisor and you will get a lot of information and I think it won’t be hard for you if you happen to get a job in Zanzibar
I think buying a  hotel in Zanzibar might be easy and cheap
I am from Dar Es salaam

Hello Tanzania.
Anyone with futuristic vision about large scale commercial FISH FARMING? It now a time that Tanzania wakes up and participate in what other citizens of the world are doing. We have been dormant too long now and the wake up call is ringing, lets listen.
