Entry for citizens of Finland

For visitors setting off from Tampere, the rule that applies is the one for Finland's citizens. Citizens of every country can get a visa on arrival at Kigali International Airport and at all land borders, or apply online before travelling. The visa fee does not exceed USD 50 for a single entry or USD 70 for multiple entries. 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

Rates are in US dollars rather than the euro (EUR); guests pay by USD transfer, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo, by Airtel Money or in crypto. Details are shared by the concierge alone, in writing, once the dates are confirmed.
