Getting to Kigali from Belgium
Brussels and Kigali are about 6,357 km apart in a straight line. The time difference changes with the seasons: in January Brussels is one hour behind Kigali, in July on the same time as Kigali.
Kigali is a direct flight away from Belgium. Brussels Airlines connects Brussels (BRU) with Kigali, non-stop.
Belgium has four international airports, including Brussels Airport (BRU), Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL) and Ostend-Bruges International Airport (OST).
From Antwerp, Gent, Charleroi or anywhere else in Belgium, one message to the concierge starts the plan.
Entry for citizens of Belgium
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. Belgium's memberships include La Francophonie. We link the official immigration page below; Irembo is where online applications are made.
Money and payment
Your home currency is the euro (EUR); the stay is quoted in US dollars, and USD, RWF, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money and crypto are all accepted.
Payment details come only from the concierge, after your dates are confirmed.
According to UN DESA's 2024 migrant stock figures, Belgium has a Rwandan community of about 15,000 people.
Cash is also accepted on arrival at the villa, in US dollars or Rwandan francs, with a written receipt from the concierge.
