Request guidance

Confirm through official sources

Work, investor and residency permits in Rwanda are handled by the Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration (DGIE), with many applications via the Irembo portal. Permit categories and requirements depend on your situation and can change, so verify current rules with DGIE and a qualified advisor, do not rely on general guides for decisions.

Questions to confirm

  • Which permit category fits your role (for example, investor or employment)?
  • What are the current requirements and documents?
  • When and where do you apply, and what are the timelines?
  • How does the permit relate to your company registration?
  • What applies to family members or a team?
