Getting to Kigali from Laos

As the crow flies, Kigali is about 8,234 km from Vientiane. In Vientiane, the time is five hours ahead of Kigali's.

From Laos, most travellers connect through Doha (Qatar Airways), Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines) or Cairo (EgyptAir); your concierge plans the connection.

Wattay International Airport (VTE), Luang Phabang International Airport (LPQ) and Pakse International Airport (PKZ): the international airports of Laos.

Whether you set off from Savannakhet or Pakse, the concierge plans the arrival around your flight.

Entry for citizens of Laos

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. Laos belongs to La Francophonie. This summary was checked on 9 October 2026; always confirm on the official immigration page before booking flights.

Money and payment

Rates are in US dollars rather than the Laotian kip (LAK); guests pay by USD transfer, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo, by Airtel Money or in 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.

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