Getting to Kigali from Barbados
About 10,022 km separate Bridgetown from Kigali, as the crow flies. In Bridgetown, the time is six hours behind Kigali's.
From Barbados, fly Virgin Atlantic to London (LHR), then RwandAir non-stop to Kigali.
Barbados's international airport is Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI).
Entry for citizens of Barbados
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. As a member of the Commonwealth, Barbados benefits from Rwanda's rules for those groups. We link the official immigration page below; Irembo is where online applications are made.
Money and payment
Barbados's currency is the Barbadian dollar (BBD). Stays are quoted in US dollars, and you can pay in USD, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo or Airtel Money, or in crypto such as USDT or Bitcoin.
The concierge confirms the total in writing and sends the payment details after your dates are set.
Cash is also accepted on arrival at the villa, in US dollars or Rwandan francs, with a written receipt from the concierge.
