Entry for citizens of Burkina Faso

Entry rules follow your passport, not your city, so the rule for Kaya is the rule for citizens of Burkina Faso.

Burkina Faso belongs to the African Union. Rules can change: check the official page of Rwanda's Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration before you travel; the online application is on Irembo.

Money and payment

Your home currency is the West African CFA franc (XOF); the stay is quoted in US dollars, and USD, RWF, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money and crypto are all accepted. 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.
