Getting to Kigali from Bhutan
About 7,153 km separate Thimphu from Kigali, as the crow flies. Thimphu is four hours ahead of Kigali.
From Bhutan, most travellers connect through Doha (Qatar Airways), Cairo (EgyptAir) or Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines); your concierge plans the connection.
Departures from Bhutan leave from Paro International Airport (PBH).
Starting from Paro? Tell the concierge your flight, and the rest is arranged.
Entry for citizens of Bhutan
Citizens of every country can get a visa on arrival at Kigali International Airport and at all land borders, or apply online before travelling. The visa fee does not exceed USD 50 for a single entry or USD 70 for multiple entries. The official source is Rwanda's Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration; apply online on Irembo if you need a visa before travelling.
Money and payment
Rates are in US dollars rather than the Bhutanese ngultrum (BTN); 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.
