Staying Safe
Negative COVID-19 Test
We kindly ask you to have your COVID-19 negative test results taken within the last 5 days at your point of departure as well as your completed Public Health Passenger Locator Form ready to present to health staff.
The only accepted test is a SARS-CoV 2 Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) performed within 72 hours of departure (meaning travellers must be tested and get results within 3 days of their first flight). Other tests, such as Rapid Diagnostics Test (RDTs), are not accepted.
Staying Safe

When you arrive at Kigali International Airport, please ensure your face mask is properly fitted, covering both your mouth and nose. For your safety, service counters have been fitted with transparent barriers. All airport personnel will also be wearing masks at all times.

We ask that you sanitise your hands and footwear before entering the terminal. Hand sanitisers have been installed throughout the airport and at hospitality establishments across the country. We also kindly request you to maintain a distance from others of 1 to 2 metres at all times. Markers are in place to help you keep the distance.

As you enter the airport, thermal imaging cameras will check your temperature and health professionals will be on standby to ensure you receive the best care.
