Zanzibar Investment Guide

Structured ownership, visas, and sectors—without the jargon.

Land & ownership

Foreigners typically invest through structured vehicles—leases, development agreements, or approved vehicles. Always verify title and tenure with a qualified local lawyer.

Residency & stays

Investor-friendly permits and long-stay options exist in principle—rules change, so confirm eligibility and documentation with official sources and counsel.

Business angles

Tourism, short-term rentals, and hospitality operations are common plays—each needs operator fit, fee models, and realistic occupancy assumptions.
