Rwanda on India's E-visa list
The Indian government has announced that Rwanda had been included on the e-visa list, which means that Rwandan nationals can apply for Indian visas online without the necessity of travelling to Kampala, the seat of the embassy that also serves Rwanda, as was the case previously.

RwandAir is also now flying direct from Kigali to Mumbai, which route will now save time and money for Rwandan nationals wishing to travel to India, whether it’s for business or pleasure.
“Under normal circumstances, from Kigali to Mumbai via Nairobi and Doha or Dubai, it would take about 10 hours. With this direct flight, it will take about 7 hours. Business-wise, this is a great advantage to the people,” Buterere said.
“This is yet another great boost to trade and bilateral ties between Rwanda and India. It has great value in all ways,” he added.
Buterere said that the Kigali-Mumbai route now costs $600 as opposed to between $1500 and $2000 during high season.
Meanwhile, the national carrier is also expected to make its maiden flight to London in the United Kingdom on May 26.
