Entry for citizens of the United States
Entry rules follow your passport, not your city, so the rule for Minnesota is the 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. This summary was checked on 9 October 2026; always confirm on the official immigration page before booking flights.
Money and payment
The United States uses the US dollar, the currency the villas are quoted in, so there is nothing to convert. 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.

Airport pickup can be arranged at any hour, and at Amahoro and Urugwiro The Black Key Arrival includes it for stays of three nights or more.
