The Immigration Services Department of the Ministry of Home Affairs has reintroduced the business visa-on-arrival, which allows business visitors to obtain a non-extendable 90-day visa at the port-of-entry.
Several activities are allowed under business visitor status, including: 
- Board meetings and business prospecting
- Internal presentations
- Advisory consultations
- The installation of machinery
Please note that productive work cannot be performed under business visitor status.
However, immigration officials at the port-of-entry maintain discretion to issue a business visa-on-arrival, and may refer a traveler to the Labor Department if they think a work permit is necessary. If this occurs, the traveler may be issued an ordinary visa so they can apply for a work permit in Tanzania. An ordinary visa does not permit productive work or business activities. For visa-exempt nationals (East African Community and Southern African Development Community), fees of US$ 200 apply for a business pass.
