When you understand the regulations in place and why, it is not necessarily a bad thing. Such restrictions keep land and property price lower. It protects the local Tanzanian from being priced out of the market by foreigners. Rwanda didn't have such restrictions in place until about two years ago. The influx of foreigners who bought land caused the rwandese government to implement a one piece of land ownership under your name. I also believe there is a size limit in Rwanda also. Remember guys, when you are registering your business in tanzania, make sure your memorandum of incorporation is broad. It should covers a wide range of businesses, including land ownership. A good lawyer will advise you 😉

From my understanding, the majority of Zanzibarians are descendants of Tanzanians that were enslaved in Zanzibar by the Arabs , so that makes Zanzibarians also Tanzanians
They are now, but it wasn't always so. The Union Act of 1964 brought them together. Zanzibar believes they were forced to join the union. Because of that, there's a little tension there.

You are wrong about Zanzibar being forced to join Tanganyika please read the history .it was a mutual agreement proposed by Karume and Nyerere back then
I did not say they were forced. I said they believed they were forced into a union they don't fully want. I also said I am not going to have a discussion on the topic because I am a guest here. Though I have read how the union came about. My comment is based on conversations I have had with zanziborian friends here on the mainland. Their culture is more aligned with that of the Arab world.
@@theafricanjumbee1197 There two groups in zanzibar politics. There are people from pemba and most of them are believed to be descendants of shiraz from arab countries. This group is the one that dont like the union. The other group unguja people. This group feel more affiliated to peolpe from mainland and offcourse their ancesctors are of mainland origin and they are the one who prefer union. So the zanzbaris are in battle themselves between those two groups. The unguja peolpe overthrown government that were mostly under shiraz control in 1964 and immediately formed union with Tanganyika.
I hear and read so many different things. I thought if the company is 100% foreign, you have to invest at least 500,000 dollars before you can buy land (via TIC). Only if the company shares are for 51% owned by a local, there is no minimum investment. Can you explain why this is not the case how you bought it??
This is the information I gathered from my experience with TIC. If you send them an email, they'll property respond with the same information. If one is investing heavily in the Tanzanian economy, they recommend that you partner with them. Reasons being, according to them. They are able to protect your investment. They will be able to guide an investor in the best possible sector of the economy to invest. They have access to a large database of buyers, domestic and foreign, and are able to find you markets for your goods. One must have a minimum of $500,000 to invest in tanzania to be able to work with them. If you don't have $500k to invest or you don't want to work with TIC, one can go the other route of partnering with a local Tanzanian. If you choose to partner with a local Tanzanian, there is no legal breakdown on the percentage of shares. If the foreigner is the biggest investor, they'll have the largest percentage of shares. If the Tanzanian is the largest investor, they'll own the largest percentage of shares. Personally, I am partnered with a local Tanzanian. I own 70% of my company. Once you've successfully registered a company in tanzania and have all the necessary documents associated with the registration of said company. You can purchase land under the registration of the company. For more information on this matter, I would suggest you seek advice from a lawyer.
@gerarddaniels3590 I have a Tanzanian business partner. I can assure you that he doesn't own 51% of the business. The law requires you to partner with a local Tanzanian for small scale investing. The law does not specify the percentage of shares each party should own
@@theafricanjumbee4057 That's new for me. This is what I read often: Foreign investors may be issued with the Granted Right of Occupancy provided that they are a company with local shareholders retaining 51% of the shares. A body corporate registered in Tanzania whose majority shareholder or owners are non-citizens is considered to be a foreign company (Sect.20(4) of the Land Act). Only a local company can obtain/buy land. Or are for small scale investing the rules different?

I am only a few minutes in but any government can seize any business whenever they change the rules.
For how long can you own the land? Also, if you stop the business, will they take back the land?

Zanzibar is no longer different. Must be under the business name. Also don't forget that depending the business has to be owned 70% by a local!
The law changed in 2023 Mid year!

Those prices are great. ❤❤❤
Outside of the city, yes. The restrictions in place have kept prices low
Yes they are!
Hello My Brother, So Is Tanzania similar to ghana where a local also has to sign with you in order for you to register/run a business?
I don't think I like that. Good to know. Thanks Kerry. I will visit Tanzania. Second thoughts about getting land.
Zanzibar might be a good option. You could own land in Zanzibar under your name
Even main land Tanzania you can have land for agriculture purpose
Its all doable if you partner with a reputable law firm. They handle it all for a yearly fee and accountants.
The measurement of the land is it ft2 or Meter square
Square metres, go to Google and convert it into square feet
Is the measurement in square feet or meter square? If 469 is in sqft, it’s almost 45m.square & that’s very small area to build a house
Square meter. I paid 10k tsh per square meter in the area I bought.
Prices vary from one area to another

So is your business for 100% in your hands? Or do you have a local that owns 51% of the shares? I'm very curious...

Tanzania does not have a minimum capital investment requirement.
