Hello @ esenciacosmopolitacompras,

Welcome, and it’s great to hear about your plans to visit and invest in Kigali! ***

Regarding accommodation, Kigali has many safe and comfortable options for foreigners. Areas like Kiyovu, Kimihurura, Remera, and Gacuriro are popular among visitors and expats. Depending on your preference, guesthouses and hostels usually range between $25–$60 per night, while monthly stays can go from $400–$1,000, depending on the location and amenities.

Yes, Kigali is widely regarded as one of the safest cities in Africa,  it’s clean, organized, and foreigners can move around freely both during the day and at night, provided you take normal safety precautions.

As for residence permits, once you arrive with your East Africa Tourist Visa, you can apply for a 1-year residence permit through the Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration (DGIE). The processing time is usually 2–3 weeks, and the requirements depend on the type of permit (e.g., investor, business owner, or worker).***

Regarding your business plans, Rwanda is a great place to start the process is straightforward, and registering a company through the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) can often be completed within 6 hours.***

Thank you
