Entry for citizens of Egypt

Rwanda's entry rules depend on nationality, not on where you set off; from Luxor Governorate, citizens of Egypt 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. Egypt belongs to 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

Egyptian pound (EGP) 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.

Arrival

Send the flight number once it is booked, and the pickup follows it, day or night.
