Getting to Kigali from Timor-Leste

As the crow flies, Kigali is about 10,581 km from Dili. In Dili, the time is seven hours ahead of Kigali's.

From Timor-Leste, most travellers connect through Doha (Qatar Airways), Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines) or Nairobi (Kenya Airways); your concierge plans the connection.

Among Timor-Leste's international airports: Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport (DIL), Oecusse Route of the Sandalwood International Airport (OEC) and Commander in Chief of FALINTIL, Kay Rala Xanana Gusmão, International Airport (UAI).

Whether you set off from Suai, the concierge plans the arrival around your flight.

Entry for citizens of Timor-Leste

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. The official source is Rwanda's Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration; apply online on Irembo if you need a visa before travelling.

Money and payment

No exchange needed: Timor-Leste uses the US dollar, and so do the villa rates.

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.

Arrival

The Black Key Arrival, airport pickup included, comes with stays of three nights or more at Amahoro and Urugwiro; elsewhere it is quoted first.
