Entry for citizens of Senegal

From Tambacounda Region or any other city, the entry rule is set by your passport. Citizens of this country receive a 90-day visa free of charge on arrival.

At home you pay in the West African CFA franc (XOF); in Kigali, the villa is quoted in US dollars and can be paid in USD, RWF, by mobile money or in common cryptocurrencies. 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.
