Entry for citizens of South Sudan
Citizens of East African Community partner states receive an entry pass free of charge on arrival, for a stay of up to six months. As a member of the East African Community and the African Union, South Sudan benefits from Rwanda's rules for those groups. We link the official immigration page below; Irembo is where online applications are made.
Money and payment
You will be travelling from the South Sudanese pound (SSP) to a stay quoted in US dollars; payment is accepted in USD, RWF, mobile money or crypto.
The concierge confirms the total in writing and sends the payment details after your dates are set.
Cash is also accepted on arrival at the villa, in US dollars or Rwandan francs, with a written receipt from the concierge.
