Visa Rwanda

Visa to Rwanda is only available on arrival and is granted by the Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration (DGIE). This means that travellers can obtain their visa upon entry at the airport or at a border post.

Note: The Rwandan embassy in the Netherlands no longer issues visas. Travellers do not need to apply for a physical visa in advance, but can obtain a visa on arrival for a fee. Always check the latest entry requirements before leaving.

Always call your airline first if it is mandatory to check in with a visa. If so, you will need to apply for the East African Visa.

East African Visa (EAV)

Are you travelling between Rwanda, Kenya and/or Uganda? If so, you only need to apply for one visa: the East African Visa.

The advantage of this Visa Kenya on Arrival is that you will not have to deal with long queues to apply for a Visa on Arrival in the above-mentioned countries. In addition, you will also not have to visit all three embassies before departure to apply for your visas. You will get this Kenya, Rwanda and/or Uganda visa affixed to your passport on arrival in the first country.

Of course, we check your details before submitting the application.
