VISA ON ARRIVAL
Applicants from Australia, Germany, Israel, New Zealand, South Africa, Sweden and the USA may be able to obtain a single-entry visa on arrival in Rwanda, valid for up to 30 days. However, a fee will still be charged and there is no guarantee of entry. We therefore strongly advise applicants to obtain a visa before travelling.
Additional Information

The embassy reserves the right to request additional documents in support of your visa application, and to alter or increase fees without prior notice.
No refund will be given if your visa is cancelled or rejected by the embassy.
