Entry rules for Namibia passport holders
Holders of a valid Namibia passport can travel to Rwanda for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 30 days.

The 30-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Rwanda, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Rwanda immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
