Getting to Kigali from Jamaica
Kigali lies about 11,856 km from Kingston, in a straight line. Expect a time difference: Kingston is seven hours behind Kigali.
From Jamaica, most travellers connect through London Heathrow (RwandAir), Paris CDG (RwandAir) or Brussels (Brussels Airlines); your concierge plans the connection.
Departures from Jamaica are possible from Norman Manley International Airport (KIN), Sangster International Airport (MBJ) and Ian Fleming International Airport (OCJ).
Starting from Spanish Town, Portmore or Montego Bay? Tell the concierge your flight, and the rest is arranged.
Entry for citizens of Jamaica
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. Jamaica belongs to the Commonwealth. 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
Your home currency is the Jamaican dollar (JMD); the stay is quoted in US dollars, and USD, RWF, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money and crypto are all accepted.
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.
