Can I extend my Rwanda visa?

Yes, often you can stay longer in Rwanda if needed. If you want more time than your visa allows, ask about how to extend it before it ends.  

The steps to get more time may be different based on your visa type or reason. Usually, you must go to the office or check the Rwanda Immigration Services site. It's best to give good reasons for staying, like travel, work, or another real cause.

Visitors should know that getting more time on a visa is not always sure, and officials look at each request one by one. It's key to ask for more time before your visa runs out to avoid problems or fines for staying too long.

Be sure to give needed papers, like a good passport, a note that says why you need more time, and extra papers about your stay. Since rules can change, check trusted sources or talk to the right office for the latest and best tips on how to extend your Rwanda visa.
