Mkimbizi ni mtu yeyote ambaye kutokana na hofu ya msingi ya kuteswa kwa sababu za rangi, dini, kabila, uanachama wa kundi la kijamii au maoni ya kisiasa, yuko nje ya nchi yake au nchi ya maskani yake ya kudumu na kwamba hawezi au hayuko tayari kuwa chini ya himaya ya serikali hiyo ambayo ameikimbia.

A refugee is any person whom owing to well-founded fear from persecution for reasons of race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, membership a of particular social group or political opinion is outside his country of nationality or habitual residence and is unable or unwilling to avail himself to the protection of the government which he has previously fled.

Mhamiaji haramu ni raia wa kigeni aliye ndani ya Tanzania na asiye na kibali halali cha kuingia au kuishi Tanzania wakati mkimbizi ni raia wa nchi ya kigeni aliyeomba na kupewa hifadhi kutokana na kuikimbia nchi yake kwa sababu za usalama wake

Illegal immigrant is person who is in Tanzania without the legal right to live or to be in the country while a refugee is a person who has fled from his country for the fear of persecution and has asked asylum and registered in Tanzania.

Waomba hifadhi wote wanapowasili nchini wanatakiwa kuripoti katika Ofisi zozote za Serikali ambako wataelekezwa kufika Idara ya Wakimbizi au kuonana na “Ofisa aliyeidhinishwa” ambaye atawapa utaratibu wa kufuata kufika Ofisi za Idara ambako watahojiwa na kusajiliwa.

All asylum seekers must report to government offices upon their arrival in the country. They will be directed to the Refugee Department or meet with an “authorized officer” who will provide instructions on how to proceed to the department's offices for their interview and registration.

Ifahamike kwamba maeneo wanayoishi wakimbizi ni maeneo tengefu, hivyo wageni wote wanaotaka kuingia katika maeneo haya kwa ajili ya kutoa huduma au sababu zozote zile; watapaswa kuandika barua ya kuomba kibali kwa Mkurugenzi wa Idara ya Huduma kwa Wakimbizi. Hairuhusiwi kuingia maeneo tengefu bila kibali.

It should be noted that refugees live in designated areas, therefore, Visitors who wish to enter the refugee camps whether to provide services or for any other purpose, must submit a letter to the Director of the Refugee Services Department to request for a camp entry permit. It is strictly prohibited to enter these designated areas without a permit.
