Visas: All foreign nationals bar those from
Germany and the USA need a visa to visit Rwanda. A visa arranged in advance of your visit
will require US$50 and two passport photos, and will allow you to stay for up to a month;
visas of the double or multiple-entry variety are recommended to give you flexibility when
it comes to visiting neighbouring countries. But keep in mind that unless you enjoy the
prospect of being tied up in red tape and beaten senseless with a manilla folder, it's
generally best to organise the visa after you've arrived in East Africa. At the Rwandan
border, 15-day visas are issued in a matter of minutes for US$35. Visa extensions of up to
90 days are available at the Ministry of the Interior near Kigali within a day or two of
applying (though sometimes much longer) for between US$10-40 depending on the length of
the extension. Health risks: Malaria in low-lying regions, cholera, hepatitis, typhoid, HIV, Rift
Valley Fever, yellow fever and drinking too much konyagi.
