What is the difference between a Rwanda Tourist eVisa and a Family Visit eVisa?

The eVisa for tourist purposes in Rwanda is ideal for visitors looking to explore and enjoy themselves. The validity period lasts up to 30 days, and evidence of accommodation is needed.

On the other hand, the Rwanda Family Visit eVisa in Rwanda is for travelers who intend to visit their loved ones or friends living within the country. The duration of the trip is the same, but an invitation from your host and information on their residence in the country are necessary.

Can dual nationals apply for a Rwanda Family Visit eVisa?

Yes, a person who has dual citizenship may apply for a Rwanda Family Visit Visa (V2); he or she just needs to have a passport that is not of Rwandan origin. Dual citizenship is officially accepted by the Rwandan government. However, if you are a Rwandan citizen, then you do not require a visa for traveling to Rwanda. You should enter the country using your Rwandan passport/identity card. If you decide to travel as a citizen of another country, you should apply online through the Irembo website.

Can the Rwanda Family Visit eVisa be used for emergency family visits?

Indeed, the Rwanda Family Visit eVisa can be utilized for making an emergency family visit, but only if your trip involves visiting a relative who lives in Rwanda. There is no special category called 'emergency' in the list, but rather you will need to fill out your application using the usual Irembo website procedure. It normally takes several working days, so if the situation requires haste, make sure you provide supporting evidence for the nature of the emergency.
