Entry for citizens of Canada
Rwanda's entry rules depend on nationality, not on where you set off; from Hamilton, citizens of Canada 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 Commonwealth and La Francophonie, Canada benefits from Rwanda's rules for those groups. Before you fly, confirm the rule for your passport on the official immigration page; online applications go through Irembo.

Canadian dollar (CAD) is not used for the booking itself: villas are quoted in US dollars, payable in USD, Rwandan francs, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money or crypto. Details are shared by the concierge alone, in writing, once the 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.
