Entry for citizens of Djibouti
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. Djibouti is a member of the African Union 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
Djibouti's currency is the Djiboutian franc (DJF). Stays are quoted in US dollars, and you can pay in USD, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo or Airtel Money, or in crypto such as USDT or Bitcoin.
Payment details come only from the concierge, after 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.
