Getting to Kigali from Suriname
Measured in a straight line, it is about 9,502 km from Paramaribo to Kigali. The clock in Paramaribo is five hours behind Kigali's.
From Suriname, most travellers connect through London Heathrow (RwandAir), Paris CDG (RwandAir) or Brussels (Brussels Airlines); your concierge plans the connection.
The international gateway of Suriname is Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport (PBM).
Entry for citizens of Suriname
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.
Money and payment
Rates are in US dollars rather than the Surinamese dollar (SRD); guests pay by USD transfer, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo, by Airtel Money or in crypto.
Payment details come only from the concierge, after your dates are confirmed.
Cash is also accepted on arrival at the villa, in US dollars or Rwandan francs, with a written receipt from the concierge.
