As part of Government measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the following is mandatory
upon entry into Rwanda, effective 14th May 2022: - Arriving passengers at Kigali International Airport must present a negative Antigen Rapid Test (RDT)
taken 72 hours prior to departure (meaning travelers must be tested and get results within 3 days of
their first flight). COVID-19 Test is not mandatory for accompanied children under 5 years. Incoming
travelers eligible (aged 12 years and above) for Covid-19 vaccine are encouraged to be fully vaccinated
before their travel. An additional Antigen Rapid Test (RDT) will be taken upon arrival at own
cost.
- At the airport, the payment for Covid-19 tests taken on arrival of 5,000 Frw or 5 USD will be done as per
the indications of the passenger locator form. For passengers who opt for a cash payment at arrival, the
balance will be given in Local currency (FRW). The passenger who wouldn’t use the payment methods on
the passenger locator form may be required to pay again at arrival and claim for refund for any previous
payment made.
- All travelers arriving and transiting in Rwanda must complete the passenger locator form and upload the Covid-19 Rapid test certificate taken within 72 hours before heading to the airport. Please see passenger locator form on
www.rbc.gov.rw.
Departing passengers at Kigali International Airport must present a negative Rapid or PCR test (depending
on requirement at destination) taken 72 hours prior to departure. COVID-19 Test is not mandatory for
accompanied children under 5 years. Travelers are advised to check with airlines about the COVID-19
requirements of the final destination and/or transit countries and plan for their Covid-19 test accordingly.
All Rwandans travelers eligible (aged 12 years and above) for Covid-19 vaccine departing
from Rwanda must be fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated means having two doses and a booster short
when eligible (administered 3 months after the second dose).
This is a system to mandatorily be used for self-registration by all the people wishing to take COVID-19 tests. We have set up an easy-to-fill form that will guide users to provide all necessary information required prior to being tested, including payment modalities.
At completion of the form and test payment, a unique code will be provided in form of short message on the telephone number provided and will be shown to RBC testing staffs on sites for the testing to proceed. This form will reduce the time spent while registering at testing site.
The SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR COVID-19 testing is done at RBC Gikondo Branch at the Office of Vaccination Program on KK 6 Ave and for RAPID Test it is done from this List of accredited private clinics
In order to facilitate Rwandan citizens to test regularly for Covid-19 PCR test and to know their status, Rwandan citizens will pay Rwf 30,000 or 30 USD for covid-19 tests instead of current cost.
NOTE: Digital payments (MoMo Pay and Airtel Money) are exclusively done on site in front of RBC staff. In that case, a final code will be sent to the client after reception of the payment. The final code will replace another code that will have been communicated to them previously for the sake of completing the form. The latter can’t guarantee a test.
