Entry for citizens of Burkina Faso

Rwanda's entry rules depend on nationality, not on where you set off; from Ouagadougou, citizens of Burkina Faso 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. As a member of the African Union, Burkina Faso 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

Rates are in US dollars rather than the West African CFA franc (XOF); guests pay by USD transfer, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo, by Airtel Money or in crypto. No payment details are published on this website: the concierge sends them once your dates are confirmed.

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

Arrival

The Black Key Arrival, airport pickup included, comes with stays of three nights or more at Amahoro and Urugwiro; elsewhere it is quoted first.

The villas

Four private villas, four neighbourhoods: Kibagabaga, Kacyiru, Rebero and Niboye, for four to eight guests each. A private chef, a driver and tours can be added through the concierge. In Burkina Faso you might call it a luxury villa or a private residence; in Kigali it is a private villa, booked to your group alone.

“All in all the staff was extremely accommodating to our needs and has daily house cleaning.”
