Embassies, Consulates & High Commissions in Kigali

As Rwanda’s capital city, Kigali is the place for all of your international embassy needs. Kigali doesn’t have as many embassies and High Commissions as Uganda and Nairobi and you could find yourself needing to travel to get visas for more obscure countries… but they do have a decent number of them. And here, my friends, is a list with contact details and opening hours.

These sorts of things tend to change a lot so if you see a mistake, call me a fool and then let us know the correct information in the comments. Thanks!

    The details for the Polish consulate seems to be wrong have not been able to find the place or reach the number.
    Does any one have any other number or location that I can check ?

  4. Am inquiring why would a Ugandan working in Kigali needs a work permit and yet we claim we are in East African Community. Unless we were told a lie
