When coming to Rwanda as a an international student, you will go through a three-step process as follows:

1. Obtain required documents needed to apply for your U1 student permit. You will upload these on the Admissions Portal, and await confirmation that the documents uploaded meet the immigration requirements before you travel to Rwanda.

2. Obtain an entry visa upon arrival in Rwanda.

3. Apply for a student permit within the first 15 days of arrival in Rwanda.


For all admitted students, this information in detail can be found on your Admissions Portal. Visit this website to see all the details and requirements to successfully apply for your student permit.
