Overview

This permit is for former holders of a Residence Permit Class B who need to finalize their affairs immediately after the termination of their employment contracts.

The Class C-4 permit is specifically designed for foreign nationals who have concluded their employment under a Class B permit. It provides a legal window for individuals to settle their affairs, such as closing bank accounts or finalizing property matters, before departing the country.

Unlike most Tanzanian permits, this category allows for application after the individual has already entered the country.
