• Given the complexity of the process, it's wise to enlist professional assistance when setting up a business in Tanzania to navigate legal and regulatory requirements.
• Obtaining a working permit in Tanzania can take 2 to 6 months, depending on various factors such as the type of permit and the processing time of the authorities.
• Tanzania is a rapidly growing market, offering many opportunities for foreign investors, particularly in the tourism, mining, and energy sectors.
