The amendment of the Non-Citizens (Employment Regulation) Act (Cap 436) (the Act) is a big step in the much-needed reforms of immigration laws in Tanzania. With the coming into force of the Written (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act No. 6 of 2021 on 11 October 2021, the period in which foreigners can work in Tanzania has been extended by an additional three years affording expatriate employees an opportunity to continue working in Tanzania for a maximum tenor of eight years. Notably, the validity period for a work permit remains two years. With the new amendment, there is room for expatriate employees to work in Tanzania for a maximum of eight years. The amendments also give the Labour Commissioner powers to attach any conditions as s/he may find necessary regarding the finality of the permit.
