Getting to Kigali from India

New Delhi and Kigali are about 6,064 km apart in a straight line. In New Delhi, the time is 3.5 hours ahead of Kigali's.

From India, fly Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa (ADD) to Kigali. Another option: fly Qatar Airways via Doha (DOH).

India has 44 international airports, including Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) and Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD).

Entry for citizens of India

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. As a member of the Commonwealth, India benefits from Rwanda's rules for those groups. 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.

At home you pay in the Indian rupee (INR); 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.
