Official guidance Regularly updated

Important

This information is for general guidance only. Meeting the requirements does not guarantee your application will be approved.

Visitor visa fees are commonly quoted in US dollars (for example a single-entry holiday visa and a transit visa), while residence and work permits are charged in Rwandan francs and vary by class. Nationals of visa-waiver countries are exempt from short-visit visa fees.

Because official fee pages are updated over time and figures here are drawn from summaries of the DGIE site, applicants should confirm the exact current fee for their specific visa or permit class on the official website or the Irembo portal before paying.
