Embassies and Consulates in Rwanda: An Overview

Rwanda is host to 31 foreign diplomatic missions sent by 31 countries. As in most countries, the diplomatic community is centred on the capital, Kigali, where 31 of these missions are based.

Which type of mission should you contact?

Not every mission offers the same services. The list below includes 25 embassys, 3 high commissions, 2 honorary consulates and 1 consulate general. An embassy is the main mission and normally sits in the capital; a consulate general or consulate handles visas and passport work for its own region; an honorary consulate offers limited help and usually cannot issue visas. If you are unsure which one to approach, our guide to embassies and consulates explains the difference in plain language. Read the guide →

Rwanda's own missions abroad

Rwanda maintains its own network of 27 embassies and consulates in 23 countries across 4 continents. If you are a Rwanda citizen travelling or living overseas, these are the offices that renew your passport, register a birth abroad and assist in an emergency.
