The following Covid-19 travel guidelines and procedures are in place for travellers, effective immediately. These guidelines will be regularly reviewed and revised in light of health conditions- Covid-19 testing is no longer a requirement prior to boarding the flight to Rwanda. However, regular Covid-19 testing is encouraged.
- The Passenger Locator Form is no longer a requirement before departure.
- An additional Covid test is no longer required upon arrival at Kigali International Airport
- Certain meeting venues and national parks require Covid tests. Testing is available at health facilities and other designated sites for 5,000 RWF (or US$5) for rapid antigen tests, and 50,000 RWF (or US$50) for PCR tests (required to access Virunga National Park). Rwandan citizens pay a subsidized cost for PCR tests of 30,000 RWF (or US$30)
- Face masks are no longer mandatory in Rwanda, but their use is encouraged in public indoor settings.
A Covid test is no longer a requirement to depart Rwanda by air. However, Covid testing (at own cost) is available for all travellers whose final destination requires one at health centres and other designated sites.
All Rwandan travellers aged 12 years and above must show proof of full vaccination before departing Rwanda by air
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.
