Travelers from many countries need a visa for Rwanda. This can be applied for online, which is recommended to avoid waiting times upon arrival. A visa on request is possible upon arrival, but it is better to organize it in advance. Please check the current regulations of your country on the official website beforehand.

Kigali International Airport (KGL) is the best entry point for travelers. It offers numerous international connections and modern facilities. The capital Kigali is an ideal starting point for exploring Rwanda. Plan your flight in advance to secure the best rates!

Rwandan franc (RWF) is the local currency. Credit cards are accepted in larger businesses, but you should also keep cash on hand, especially in rural areas. ATMs are available, but not everywhere. You can also exchange currencies at banks and exchange offices.

Essential for all travelers are vaccinations against yellow fever; malaria prophylaxis is also recommended. Comprehensive travel insurance is essential to be covered in case of illness or accidents. Make sure you are also informed about the insurance coverage for services abroad.

To drive in Rwanda, drivers need an international driving license, as the local driving license is not available to you. The traffic rules are similar to those in Europe. Adhere to speed limits and be prepared for curvy roads. Ensure that your rental car has insurance.
