Entry for citizens of Egypt

For visitors setting off from Banha, the rule that applies is the one for Egypt's citizens. 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. Membership: the African Union and La Francophonie. The official source is Rwanda's Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration; apply online on Irembo if you need a visa before travelling.

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. 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.

Arrival

The Black Key Arrival, airport pickup included, comes with stays of three nights or more at Amahoro and Urugwiro; elsewhere it is quoted first.
