Entry for citizens of Canada

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. Canada is a member of the Commonwealth and La Francophonie. 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

At home you pay in the Canadian dollar (CAD); in Kigali, the villa is quoted in US dollars and can be paid in USD, RWF, by mobile money or in common cryptocurrencies. 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.

Arrival

Whatever time you land, a private pickup can be waiting; The Black Key Arrival includes it at Amahoro and Urugwiro for three nights or more.
