Getting to Kigali from Puerto Rico

Measured in a straight line, it is about 10,726 km from San Juan to Kigali. San Juan is six hours behind Kigali.

From Puerto Rico, most travellers connect through London Heathrow (RwandAir), Paris CDG (RwandAir) or Brussels (Brussels Airlines); your concierge plans the connection.

Puerto Rico has three international airports, including Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (SJU), Mercedita International Airport (PSE) and Rafael Hernández International Airport (BQN).

From Bayamón, Carolina, Ponce or anywhere else in Puerto Rico, one message to the concierge starts the plan.

Entry for citizens of Puerto Rico

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. Before you fly, confirm the rule for your passport on the official immigration page; online applications go through Irembo.

Cash is also accepted on arrival at the villa, in US dollars or Rwandan francs, with a written receipt from the concierge.
