In July 2018, President John Magufuli offered each of the resident diplomatic missions 5.5 acres of land at the Government City area in the new capital Dodoma in order to encourage relocation. By February 2021, only ten countries had collected the title deeds. Some diplomats estimate it may take them up to 20 years to relocate. In January 2023, President Samia Suluhu Hassan appealed to the diplomatic community to benefit from the incentives that the government was offering before it expires.

As of February 2023, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe have commenced construction of their new offices. On 17 May 2024, Ethiopia laid the cornerstone for the construction of its embassy. Both the Holy See and Indonesia have declared their intention to relocate to Dodoma.
