Getting to Kigali from Malaysia
As the crow flies, Kigali is about 7,982 km from Kuala Lumpur. Expect a time difference: Kuala Lumpur is six hours ahead of Kigali.
From Malaysia, fly Qatar Airways via Doha (DOH) to Kigali. Another option: fly Turkish Airlines via Istanbul (IST).
Departures from Malaysia are possible from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah International Airport (SZB) and Sultan Azlan Shah Airport (IPH).
From Johor Bahru, Kampung Baru Subang, Petaling Jaya or anywhere else in Malaysia, one message to the concierge starts the plan.
Entry for citizens of Malaysia
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. Malaysia's memberships include the Commonwealth. 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 Malaysian ringgit (MYR); guests pay by USD transfer, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo, by Airtel Money or in crypto.
Payment details come only from the concierge, after your 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.
