The 60-second version
Burundi exit needs employer tax certificate and OBR compliance letter. I export CNSS statements, close BIF account, wire to NRE, and map RNOR for humanitarian, mining, and diplomatic payroll.
OBR clearance before closing Bujumbura payroll account
Burundi taxes residents on employment and business income — obtain salary tax reconciliation and tax ID clearance from OBR before departure.
Humanitarian NGO, coffee export, and diplomatic payroll common in Bujumbura — retain employer settlement and work permit cancellation.
