Indonesia to Rwanda visa requirements

Q: How long can an Indonesian passport holder stay in Rwanda?

Up to 90 days per entry, free of charge, for tourism or short visits.

Q: Is there any fee to enter Rwanda as an Indonesian?

No. The 90-day entry is granted free of charge. The USD 50 single / USD 70 multiple-entry visa fees apply only to nationalities not on a waiver list.

Q: Do I need to apply online before traveling?

No advance application is required for the 90-day visa-free entry. You would only use the IremboGov online portal if you need a longer stay or a different visa category.

Q: What passport validity does Rwanda require?

Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months on arrival and have at least two blank pages.

Q: Is a yellow fever certificate required?

Only if you are arriving from or have transited a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. It is not required for travelers coming directly from Indonesia unless transiting such a country.

Indonesian ordinary passport holders can enter Rwanda visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism. Indonesia is on Rwanda's official 90-day visa-waiver list, so no visa, application, or fee is required before or on arrival. As of 2026, holders of an ordinary Indonesian passport enjoy one of Rwanda's most generous entry arrangements. Indonesia is specifically named on the Rwanda Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration's list of countries "granted 90 days valid visa free of charge upon arrival." This is a unilateral visa-waiver rather than a visa-on-arrival sticker: Indonesian tourists simply present a valid passport at Kigali International Airport or a land border and are admitted for up to 90 days at no cost, with no prior online application needed. Rwanda separately operates a universal visa-on-arrival scheme for nationalities not on a waiver list (capped at USD 50 single / USD 70 multiple entry), but Indonesians do not need it. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months on arrival with at least two blank pages. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required only if arriving from or transiting a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Rwanda is in East Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply. Travelers staying beyond 90 days or working/studying must obtain the appropriate visa or permit through the IremboGov online portal before the waiver expires.
