Entry for citizens of Algeria

Rwanda's entry rules depend on nationality, not on where you set off; from Khenchela Province, citizens of Algeria follow this one. As citizens of a member state of the African Union, the Commonwealth or La Francophonie, you receive a visa on arrival and the visa fee is waived for a visit of up to 30 days. Algeria's memberships include the African Union. Before you fly, confirm the rule for your passport on the official immigration page; online applications go through Irembo.

Money and payment

Rates are in US dollars rather than the Algerian dinar (DZD); guests pay by USD transfer, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo, by Airtel Money or in crypto. Once your dates are confirmed, the concierge sends the details; never pay to details found anywhere else.

Cash is also accepted on arrival at the villa, in US dollars or Rwandan francs, with a written receipt from the concierge.

Arrival

Send the flight number once it is booked, and the pickup follows it, day or night.
