The 60-second version
Tanzania exit needs employer PAYE certificate and TRA compliance letter. I export NSSF statements, close TZS/USD account, wire to NRE, and map RNOR for any retained holdings.
TRA withholding certificate and permit cancel in same month
Tanzania taxes residents on worldwide income — I obtain employer PAYE reconciliation and confirm TRA TIN has no open assessments before departure.
Residence permit surrender through employer; retain immigration exit stamp for India Schedule FA if TZS accounts linger.
NSSF member statement export even if refund not immediate — needed for Form 67 and future benefit claims.
