In exercise of his power under section 6 of the Foreign Exchange Act, the Governor of the Bank of Tanzania has issued new detailed foreign exchange Regulations vide the Foreign Exchange Regulations, 2022 (the Regulations) which came into force on 13 May 2022.
Regulation 3(2) of the Regulations provides that residents travelling abroad may be issued with foreign currency by a bank, financial institution or bureau de change of an amount not exceeding USD 10,000.

It should be noted that the same limitation is provided for under the Foreign Exchange (Bureau de Change) Regulations, 2015. Further to the above and prior to issuance of the said amount, a resident will be required to submit documentary evidence of residence and valid travelling documents.

The Regulations prohibit residents to open or maintain a bank account outside Tanzania except where there is a settlement of securities in the prescribed territory (a member country of the East African Community or Southern Africa Development Community countries) or where one obtains an approval from the Governor.

The Regulations define resident as a person who resides consecutively or whose centre of predominant economic interest is in the United Republic for twelve months or more. Although these Regulations remain untested, it would seem that an expatriate who is working in Tanzania for more than twelve months may not be able to operate a foreign bank account in their country of residence without permission of the Governor.

TAARIFA KWA UMMA

Benki Kuu ya Tanzania inapenda kuufahamisha umma kuwa Kanuni mpya za Fedha za Kigeni
za mwaka 2022, zimetungwa chini ya Sheria ya Fedha za Kigeni, Sura ya 271 kupitia Tangazo la Serikali Na. 294, lililochapishwa katika Gazeti la Serikali la tarehe 13 Mei 2022.

Pamoja na mambo mengine, Kanuni hizo zinaruhusu wakazi wa Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki na Jumuiya ya Maendeleo Kusini mwa Afrika, kuwekeza katika dhamana za Serikali za muda mfupi na mrefu.

Aidha, Kanuni hizo zinaruhusu mkazi wa Tanzania kuwekeza katika nchi wanachama wa jumuiya hizo.

Hivyo, Kanuni za Fedha za Kigeni za mwaka 2022 zimefuta Kanuni za Fedha za Kigeni za mwaka 1998 na Kanuni za Fedha za Kigeni (Dhamana zilizoorodheshwa katika soko la Hisa)za mwaka 2003. Kanuni za Fedha za Kigeni za mwaka 2022 zinapatikana katika tovuti ya Benki Kuu ya Tanzania www.bot.go.tz.
