Arrived kigali international airport around 9pm and proceeded to immigration and passport control, I paid $100 and got an east Africa visa sticker ( Rwanda, Uganda , Kenya)

Requested at point of entry they will require you to pay a $100 for itquote author=Palazo post=85548417]




Please I want to know if you requested for the east Africa visa at the point of entry or the VO just issued it on their own......

Are you still at Kigali?

AngelicBeing:


The country is not as it is widely proclaimed/ portrayed online, I was at the Nigerian embassy few months ago to see the Ambassador / other embassy officials concerning a team of investors l was bringing from the West to Kigali,
what l heard of what they did to some Nigerian investors shocked me to my bone marrow.

I also met with few Nigerian and non_Nigerian expats and they corroborated the same news l was told by consular officials. The small vacation home l was constructing their has been suspended indefinitely.

My advice for would be investors in Rwanda is this, be very very careful because Rwanda is a police country and as a foreigner, you are monitored by the different security apparatus in the country and your investment can be taken over by the government just like what happened to few investors under spurious and fake allegations.


President Kagame is a civilian wicked dictator, he muzzles everything in the country, you dare not publish any negative albeit true story against the country / policies / or any arm of the government. Lots of people are either missing, dead or abandoned in jail without any press reportage

Again, recently an American pastor called Reverend Gregg Schoof who has lived in Rwanda for 16 years was arrested, his church closed down and radio station taken over by the government and the guy was deported out of Rwanda back to the US , the news is online, you can check it on Google.

The total number of Nigerians in Rwanda is not more than 300 according to consular officials, you can easily get your business registration done in a day or less but to set up the business, immigration will have to come and physically inspect your office or business, and what they see determines whether you get 3months Special pass permits or 2 years residence permits

The purchasing power of Rwandanese citizens is very poor,
63 percent of the population still live in extreme poverty, apart from restaurant / hotel / bar/ coffee shops businesses in good strategic location's , it is difficult to do the kind of small scale businesses we have in Nigeria, rent is high in good location and tax is l think between 18 to 20 percent

The border closure between Rwanda / Uganda / Burundi is affecting Rwanda's economy seriously, recently, some international organizations have accused Kagame of cooking up figures to show to the world that the country is doing well and that investors can come but the reality on ground is not the same.

I rather take the good counsel of consular officials / Ambassador of Nigeria than believe the baloney of Kagame

Rwanda is not yet uhuru, apart from the security and cleanliness of the country, setting up a business in Rwanda is a colossal waste of time / resources / money/ energy etc

The information above can be disagreed by people who want to but I will rather take the wise counsel of the Ambassador to me than anything else from anyone.

Good luck to those planning to go to Rwanda.

Good to read some critical appreciation of the Rwanda situation. Kagame has stored up enough credit for another violent episode. Ppl will not talk on it as he has sold globally this image of a democrat and he ensures the horrors of the Interhamwe give him moral clout.

It is a police state just like how Gambia under Jammeh was. I have been to both and know that feeling of limited conversations, spies dey everywhere. It is easier to control small countries.

Just go there, look around and leave. Uganda, Kenya get better control

I want to visit Rwanda this month from Nigeria, is it still Visa on arrival ?

nwadikeokey11:
Rwanda is visa on arrival for citizens of Nigeria. When do you plan to visit and what's your purpose for the intending visit? To relocate, establish business and settle down there or just going for tourism?

gracedson:
Thank you for the response, for Tourism purpose, maybe Next Week. Are you currently there ?
