Official gateway for investors

The public bodies a foreign or local investor meets first in Tanzania.

Zanzibar Investment Promotion Authority

Zanzibar, not the mainland certificate

The Zanzibar Investment Promotion Authority promotes and facilitates investment in Zanzibar. Take a Zanzibar project through ZIPA. Do not treat a TIC certificate as a Zanzibar approval. Read the current mandate at https://www.zipa.go.tz.

Limit to keep in mind

  1. 1 Separate authority A mainland approval does not cover Unguja or Pemba on its own.
  2. 2 Local steps Tax, licensing, and land in Zanzibar follow Zanzibar institutions.
