Entry for citizens of the United Kingdom

Entry rules follow your passport, not your city, so the rule for Woking is the rule for citizens of the United Kingdom. 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. As a member of the Commonwealth, the United Kingdom benefits from Rwanda's rules for those groups.

Money and payment

At home you pay in the British pound (GBP); in Kigali, the villa is quoted in US dollars and can be paid in USD, RWF, by mobile money or in common cryptocurrencies. 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.
