Rwanda lifts visa requirement for Americans

    NAIROBI

    Rwanda has announced it will lift visa requirements for US citizens, to reciprocate a similar move by the US government. Rwandan Foreign Minister Augustine Iyamuremye told the Rwanda News Agency (RNA) the new US visa regulations allow a free five-year multiple entry visa for Rwandans seeking to pursue studies, tourism and business. The Rwandan government had therefore decided to lift visa requirements for US citizens wishing to
    travel to Rwanda for tourism and business. "The free movement between the two countries is aimed at strengthening the already existing good relations between the two sides," he said.
