The new work permit requirements for foreign nationals in Tanzania is causing unease in the region, with the East African Business Council (EABC) calling on Dar to reconsider measures, which are contrary to the EAC Common Market Protocol.
A notice issued last year from Tanzania’s Prime Minister’s office indicated that all foreigners wishing to work in the country would be required to obtain separate work and residence permits.
