Multiple armed groups opposed to the Rwandan government operate in eastern DRC and have launched occasional incursions into Rwandan territory. Shells struck Rwandan territory in this area several times in 2022. Congolese armed forces and UN peacekeepers continue to conduct combat operations against rebels, militia, and ISIS-aligned groups in DRC’s North and South Kivu provinces, which abut Rwanda. Violence, rape, kidnapping, killing, pillaging, armed robbery, and roadside criminality occur in these areas and often target civilians. </li> <li>Rwanda-<a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Burundi.html">Burundi</a> border, including parts of Nyungwe National Park: Relations between Burundi and Rwanda are currently cordial but in previous years there have been incidents of cross-border incursions, armed clashes and attacks on civilian buses. </li> <li>Rwanda-<a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Uganda.html">Uganda</a> border: Relations between Rwanda and Uganda are currently cordial but in previous years there have been elevated tensions in some areas along their shared land border.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><b>Precautions</b>: </p> <ul> <li>Avoid demonstrations and remain vigilant while traveling, especially outside of cities.

In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is typically available only in/near major cities. First responders are generally unable to access areas outside of major cities and to provide urgent medical treatment. Additionally, ambulance services are limited and unreliable. Tourists participate in activities at their own risk. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance.

If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Individuals establishing a business or practicing a profession that requires additional permits or licensing should seek information from the competent local authorities prior to practicing or operating a business. </p> <p> </p> <p>The police may detain you if you are not carrying an acceptable form of identification. Convictions for possessing, using, or trafficking in illegal drugs (including marijuana) result in long prison sentences and heavy fines. </p> <p>Furthermore, some offenses are also prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on <a href="http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/emergencies/arrest/criminalpenalties.html">crimes against minors abroad</a> and the <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Rwanda.html#ExternalPopup">Department of Justice</a> website. </p> <p><b>Arrest Notification</b>: If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately.

Promoting ideas based on “ethnic, regional, racial, religious, language, or other divisive characteristics” is prohibited. Public incitement of “genocide ideology” or “divisionism,” including genocide denial, discrimination, and sectarianism, is punishable by five to seven years in prison and fines of 500,000 to 1,000,000 Rwandan francs. Please refer to the <a href="https://www.minubumwe.gov.rw/">Rwandan Ministry of National Unity and Civic Engagement’s website</a> for additional information regarding this topic.</p> <p><b>Human Rights Observers, Journalists, NGO workers, and Students</b>: Rwandan authorities may subject you to more scrutiny at immigration upon arrival if you meet or plan to meet with individuals or organizations who are critical of the government. </p> <p><b>Photography</b>: Photographing military sites, government buildings, airports, and public monuments is strictly prohibited. </p> <p><b>Currency</b>: The Rwandan franc (RWF) is the official currency, though U.S. dollars may also be used. Most vendors and banks will only accept U.S. bills printed after 2009, and exchange bureaus and hotels may refuse bills smaller than $100. </p> <p><b>Plastic shopping and grocery bags</b> are banned and may be confiscated upon arrival. </p> <p><b>Natural disasters</b>:<b></b></p> <ul> <li>Rwanda is in a seismically active region, which includes Mount Nyiragongo volcano in Virunga National Park.

Please visit the <a href="https://www.visitrwanda.com/facts/drones/">Rwandan Government’s Tourism</a> website for additional information. Photographing military sites, government buildings, airports, and public monuments is prohibited. Travelers entering Rwanda with drones, must declare the drone upon arrival, will be subject to additional scrutiny, and will be asked to present their permit.</p> <p><b>Faith-Based Travelers</b>: See the following web pages for details:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/before-you-go/travelers-with-special-considerations/faith-based-travel.html">Faith-Based Travel Information</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.state.gov/reports/2020-report-on-international-religious-freedom/">International Religious Freedom Report</a> – see country reports</li> <li><a href="https://www.state.gov/reports/2021-country-reports-on-human-rights-practices/rwanda/">Human Rights Report</a> – see country reports</li> <li><a href="http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/go/Hajj.html">Hajj Fact Sheet for Travelers</a></li> <li><a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/go/volunteer.html">Best Practices for Volunteering Abroad</a></li> </ul> <p><b>LGBTQI+ Travelers</b>: There are no legal restrictions on same-sex sexual relations or the organization of LGBTQI+ events in Rwanda.

Social acceptance of persons with disabilities in public is not as prevalent as in the United States. Expect accessibility to be limited in public transportation, lodging, communication/information, and general infrastructure. Access to transportation, lodging, and public buildings is limited, though newly constructed buildings in Kigali have improved facilities, including elevators. Sidewalks are not common outside of Kigali and do not include curb-cuts. </p> <p><b>Students</b>: See our <a href="http://travel.state.gov/content/studentsabroad/en.html">Students Abroad</a> page and <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/student-travel-brochure-pdf.pdf/view">FBI travel tips</a>. </p> <p><b>Women Travelers</b>: Domestic violence is common.

Many secondary and unpaved roads are accessible by four-wheel drive vehicles but lack shoulders and become impassible during the rainy season, February to May and September to December, when flooding and mudslides occur. U.S. Embassy personnel are prohibited from driving outside of cities after dark. Street lighting is limited, and it is difficult to see pedestrians, cyclists, and roaming animals. Additional risks include: </p> <ul> <li>poor vehicle maintenance </li> </ul> <ul> <li>headlights that are extremely dim or not used </li> <li>excessive speeding </li> <li>absence of professional roadside assistance. </li> </ul> <p><b>Traffic Laws</b>: An international driving permit and third-party insurance are required. For specific information concerning Rwandan driving permits, vehicle inspection, road tax, and mandatory insurance, visit the website of the <a href="https://rdb.rw/">Rwanda Development Board</a>.</p> <p>Cell phone use while driving is illegal unless it is fitted with a hands-free device. After-market tinted window treatments are prohibited on all vehicles. </p> <p><b>Accidents</b>: Call the police and remain inside the vehicle until they arrive. If a hostile mob forms or you feel your safety is in danger, leave the scene and proceed directly to the nearest police station to report the incident. Do not stop at the scene of an accident or at intersections where people have gathered, as mobs can develop quickly. </p> <p>Drivers are responsible for damages if involved in an accident resulting in injuries, even if the driver is not at fault. </p> <p>Causing a fatal accident could result in up to eight years imprisonment. </p> <p>Drunk drivers are jailed for at least 24 hours and fined up to $400. </p> <p>Police roadblocks are common throughout the country. Travelers may be stopped, and vehicles and luggage searched. </p> <p><b>Public Transportation</b>: Use only official Kigali city buses and licensed taxis, which are orange striped. Confirm the fare before departure. U.S. Embassy personnel are not permitted to use motorcycle-taxis or mini-bus taxis. They are unsafe due to overloading, reckless driving, inadequate maintenance, and the risk of petty crime. Reputable car services are available for hire.
