Rwanda entry requirements for Indian citizens
Short answerIndian citizens can get a visa on arrival in Rwanda. Up to 30 days per visit.
- How long you can stay
- Up to 30 days per visit.
- What you need
- Passport valid for at least 6 months
- Visa on arrival fee (up to USD 50 for a single-entry visa)
- Return/onward travel ticket
- Can alternatively be applied for in advance via the Irembo government portal or a Rwandan diplomatic mission
- Good to know
- Rwanda grants visa on arrival to citizens of all nationalities that are not already visa-exempt. India is not on Rwanda's visa-free country list (which covers AU/Commonwealth/La Francophonie members, EAC members, and a short list of specific countries), so Indian nationals use the general visa-on-arrival route.
