Getting to Kigali from Myanmar

About 7,593 km separate Nay Pyi Taw from Kigali, as the crow flies. The clock in Nay Pyi Taw is 4.5 hours ahead of Kigali's.

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

Departures from Myanmar are possible from Nay Pyi Taw International Airport (NYT), Mandalay International Airport (MDL) and Yangon International Airport (RGN).

Whether you set off from Yangon, Mandalay or Hlaingthaya, the concierge plans the arrival around your flight.

Entry for citizens of Myanmar

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. 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

Myanmar's currency is the Myanmar kyat (MMK). Stays are quoted in US dollars, and you can pay in USD, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo or Airtel Money, or in crypto such as USDT or Bitcoin.

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.

Arrival

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