Getting to Kigali from Kazakhstan
Astana and Kigali are about 7,080 km apart in a straight line. The clock in Astana is three hours ahead of Kigali's.
From Kazakhstan, fly Qatar Airways via Doha (DOH) to Kigali. Another option: fly Turkish Airlines via Istanbul (IST).
International airports in Kazakhstan: Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport (NQZ), Sary-Arka Airport (KGF) and Kokshetau International Airport (KOV).
Whether you set off from Almaty, Shymkent or Aktobe, the concierge plans the arrival around your flight.
Entry for citizens of Kazakhstan
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. We link the official immigration page below; Irembo is where online applications are made.
Money and payment
At home you pay in the Kazakhstani tenge (KZT); in Kigali, the villa is quoted in US dollars and can be paid in USD, RWF, by mobile money or in common cryptocurrencies.
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.
