Entry for citizens of the United Kingdom
Rwanda's entry rules depend on nationality, not on where you set off; from Liverpool, citizens of the United Kingdom follow this one. As citizens of a member state of the African Union, the Commonwealth or La Francophonie, you receive a visa on arrival and the visa fee is waived for a visit of up to 30 days. Membership: the Commonwealth. 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
Rates are in US dollars rather than the British pound (GBP); guests pay by USD transfer, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo, by Airtel Money or in crypto. 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.
