Getting to Kigali from Vatican City
As the crow flies, Kigali is about 5,189 km from Vatican City. Mind the season: Vatican City is one hour behind Kigali in January and on the same time as Kigali in July.
From Vatican City, most travellers connect through Paris CDG (RwandAir), Brussels (Brussels Airlines) or London Heathrow (RwandAir); your concierge plans the connection.
Entry for citizens of Vatican City
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. Rules can change: check the official page of Rwanda's Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration before you travel; the online application is on Irembo.
Money and payment
Rates are in US dollars rather than the euro (EUR); guests pay by USD transfer, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo, by Airtel Money or in crypto.
Details are shared by the concierge alone, in writing, once the dates are confirmed.
Cash is also accepted on arrival at the villa, in US dollars or Rwandan francs, with a written receipt from the concierge.
