Entry for citizens of the United States

Travelling from Boise, you follow the entry rule for citizens of the United States. 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.
