It's easy to get second hand furniture, or get things made to order. I know friends of mine wished they had brought their own bedlinen from home!<br /><br />There are good pharmacies but you don't get all the medicines you can get at home, so worth packing anything you use regularly. Also, sunscreen is very expensive so worth bringing it with you. <br /><br />There are very few good quality toys available, though some people go up to Nairobi in Kenya for shopping and apparently you can get good stuff there. There are a few good bookshops though, and some will order things in for you. <br /><br />It depends a lot on which part of Tanzania you will be moving to. We live in Arusha. I know that there are many things available in Dar es Salaam that are not available here. Similarly, if you live somewhere more remote, you won't get the same range of products. <br /><br />Re. visas and work permits. I believe that in theory you are supposed to have your work permit before you enter the country. In the past many people arrived and bought a three month tourist visa on arrival and then set about getting their resident's permit. I think things have tightened up recently. Best to check with the authorities.<br /><br />Hope this is of some help!<br /><br />Best wishes<br /><br />Mama Bweavers&whatnothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271558799390216825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190466067173360581.post-84298169990643256392012-05-03T11:00:28.548+03:002012-05-03T11:00:28.548+03:00hello,
My family and I are wanting to move to TZ...hello, <br /><br />My family and I are wanting to move to TZ from the US and wondering if you've got any tips/resources to share regarding all things moving. Especially from the TZ end. Movers, costs, things to bring or not bother bringing, visas and work permits etc etc. <br /><br />thanks! <br />ajiraajirahttp://www.ajiradarchphotography.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
