Questions
Do Egyptian citizens need a visa for Rwanda?
Egyptian passport holders don't need a visa for Rwanda. Visa-free stays are up to 30 days. Longer stays, work and study usually need a visa. Confirm on Rwanda Irembo portal before you pay or book, because entry rules change.
Should I use an agent to get a Rwanda visa?
Only if you want someone to handle the paperwork for you. Government fees are the same whether or not you use an agent, and agents add their own fee on top — sometimes more than the visa itself. Check that the government fee is listed separately and avoid agents who ask for payment to a personal account.
