Tanzanian Work Visa - help

[Cannonballer]

I am a Canadian trying to locate the right place to get a work visa for Tanzania but i am having alot of trouble tracking down anybody in the gov't. I dont know of any embassies in canada and the immegration office in Dar wont or hasnt returned my emails. Does anybody know if i need to get a work visa first or should i just go there on a tourist visa. If i do need a work visa do i have to be sponsered by a company first. any info would be greatly appreciated

When I was there, only the company you will be working for can apply for your work permit. It will be available 2 years if I remenber correctly.
You will need your Tanzanian licence as well before applying.

Without work no workvisa, without workvisa no work..... It is a catch22, but find the ´right´ person bring some chai and suddenly everything is possible.

Welcome to Africa buddy!!!

Afraid they're all correct. It's the most corrupt continent on the planet.

With enough dosh they'll make you a citizen with a legit birth certificate if you want.

Thats kinda what i figured... it makes life a little easier but at the same time it makes me a little uneasy walking into that type of situation. but i guess it is not really a road that has not been trod before.

Thanks for the info guys I appreciate it and maybe someday soon Ill be talking to ya on the radios

Tanzania maybe. A number of other countries in Africa will exclude you from citizenship on account of your pale hide.
