Rwanda Visa for Andorran Citizens: Arrival & Fee Waiver

Andorran citizens travelling to Rwanda for a short tourist visit can obtain a visa on arrival without paying the visa fee, with a permitted stay of 30 days. An advance eVisa application is not mandatory for this route. Rwanda’s official consular guidance expressly includes Andorra in its 30-day fee-waiver list.

Do Andorran Citizens Need a Visa for Rwanda?

Rwanda provides a free visa on arrival for eligible Andorran visitors. This is a visa issued at entry with its fee waived, rather than an unrestricted visa exemption.

Andorra is a member of La Francophonie, whose member-country nationals benefit from Rwanda’s 30-day visa fee-waiver arrangement.

The nationality benefit applies to Andorran passport holders. Living in Andorra while holding another country’s passport does not establish the same entitlement.

Rwanda Entry Requirements for Andorran Citizens

Passport and Supporting Travel Information

Carry a valid passport with at least six months’ validity on entry. Rwanda’s immigration authority also requires sufficient funds for the visit and may request supporting evidence.

As practical preparation, keep your accommodation details and return or onward itinerary accessible. These recommendations should not be confused with a universal requirement to purchase an advance eVisa.

Health Requirements

A vaccination certificate may be required depending on applicable health rules. Check the requirements relevant to your departure country, transit itinerary and travel date.

Rwanda Visa Fees and Advance Applications

For the qualifying 30-day visa-on-arrival visit, the government visa fee is waived. This does not mean that accommodation, transport or independently purchased travel services are free. rwandainuk.gov.rw

If you prefer to arrange a visa before departure, consult the applicable category through Rwanda’s official visa services. Advance application is a choice for this short-visit route, rather than a prerequisite.

Any private assistance charges are separate from government charges. Rwanda Immigration Services is an independent commercial provider, not a Rwandan government agency.

Longer Stays and Multi-Country Travel

Do not assume that the fee waiver provides 90 days in Rwanda or permission to work. If you need additional time, seek guidance from DGIE and apply for an eligible extension before your current permission expires. 

For tourism across Rwanda, Kenya and Uganda, the East Africa Tourist Visa costs US$100 and is valid for 90 days, with multiple entries within the participating countries. If obtained before travel through Rwanda, your first entry must be Rwanda. This regional visa is separate from the free Rwanda-only arrival route.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I leave Rwanda and re-enter using the same free visa?

The relevant fee-waiver visitor category is single entry. Check the appropriate permission before planning another entry. migration.gov.rw

Can I work during my visit?
