Rwanda, the "Land of a Thousand Hills", is one of Africa's safest and best-organised destinations, famous for mountain gorilla trekking, a spotless capital and green lake country. This guide explains whether Pakistani citizens need a visa, which documents to carry, how the fee works and how to apply with Trips.pk. Entry details differ by country, so you can also compare rules on our visa services for Pakistani travellers page.

Do Pakistani Citizens Need a Visa for Rwanda?

Version A (if visa-free or visa on arrival is confirmed): 

Pakistani passport holders [can enter Rwanda without applying for a visa in advance, for up to [30/90] days / receive a visa on arrival]. You still need a valid passport, proof of onward travel and accommodation, and any health documents required for your route.

Pakistani passport holders must apply for a Rwanda visa before travelling. The usual route is an online application, with approval sent by email. Print your approval and carry it with your passport.

In both cases:

• Confirm the current rule with Rwanda's immigration authority before booking non-refundable flights.
