Can children travel on this route?
If the traveller is under 18, carry a notarised letter of parental consent to present at the border.
What should I do before I travel?
You must obtain a physical visa for Rwanda. The required permission is a physical visa applied for in advance; once it is granted it is obtained on arrival at the airport. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your date of entry and that you travel with your passport as the accepted travel document.
Arrange any notarised parental consent in advance if the traveller is under 18. Carry proof of sufficient funds for your stay and a return or onward flight, as border officers may ask to see these documents.
Consider travel insurance for your trip; it is recommended but not required for entry. No vaccination is mandatory and no vaccinations are recorded as recommended.
What happens at the border?
At arrival you will receive the physical visa once the pre-applied permission has been granted; this is handled on arrival at the airport. Border officers may ask to see your passport, proof of sufficient funds for the stay and a return or onward flight. There is no requirement to complete an arrival registration or entry card.
Rwanda maintains no embassy in Lithuania; the nearest Rwandan embassy for Lithuanians is in Egypt.
