Entry for citizens of Niger

As a member of the African Union, Niger benefits from Rwanda's rules for those groups. The official source is Rwanda's Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration; apply online on Irembo if you need a visa before travelling.

The concierge confirms the total in writing and sends the payment details after your dates are set.
