Is there a requirement to have a resident director in Tanzania?

There is no specific requirement for a director to be a resident of Tanzania. However, please note that every company is required to obtain a TIN and one of the directors would be required to provide their biometrics to process the company's TIN. As such it is common for companies to have a resident director. 

Further, there are certain requirements in regulated sectors for a resident director, for instance, in the mining sector a mining right would not be granted to a foreign company unless one of the directors has been resident in Tanzania for a period of four years or longer.
