  • I had a chat with Bill and he took me through the steps you can follow to start a business in Rwanda as a foreigner.
    Email: tuhairweelizabeth@gmail.com
    Below are the steps to starting a business here in Rwanda:
    Rwanda Business Steps
    Arrive Kigali with 30 Day Visitor Visa.
    Within 30 days, visit Immigration Office (room #1) and request (in writing) a 90 Day Special Pass to investigate starting a business. Cost for 90 Day Special Pass 50,000rwf (approximately $50 USD)
    Ready to establish a business in Rwanda:
    Visit RDB website (rdb.rw) to apply for your business registration online or go to an IREMBO office, located throughout the city, to get help with registering your business. It takes just a few days to receive your official “Certificate of Domestic Company Registration” and Company Code Number.
    Once the business is established and operating:
    Go to the Immigration Office (room #6) to apply for a Business Visa. IREMBO agent in room 6 will help you complete the application.
    You will need the following.
    1. Letter requesting business visa based on operating a business in Rwanda
    2. CV (or resume)
    3. Police clearance from your home country not older than 6 months
    4. RDB Certificate of company registration
    5. Passport
    6. Passport photo (available in room 6 for 2000rwf)
    7. You will also be asked to list your location by District, Sector, Cell, and Village
    All the above documents will also need to be emailed to permitdocs@migration.gov.rw
    Cost of Business Visa 150,000rwf.
    You will be notified when to return to Immigration office room 1 with your passport to receive the Visa Stamp.
    Once you have the visa stamp in your passport, you can apply for a Foreigner Identification Card, which cost 5000rwf, in the same room 1.
    Thanks

      Rents for a shop depends on location. I have one shop in residential area rented for $100 per month and another shop just blocks away from kimironko market for $300 per month. Locating in a mall will be more expensive. Best advice is to come here and investigate for yourself. There are many phone accessories and fragrance stores here.

      @@billy7636 My most dear brother, from the deepest part of my heart I send to you my very best wishes. I have lived in the USA for a long time.... I'm ready to come home. I wish you success and if I ever come to Rwanda, I'll seek you out and share a cool Rwandan beer. I hope you open up many more stores... because I see what you are aiming for. Best wishes and good luck.

      @@billy7636 Hello Bill, thanks a bunch for getting this information out there. I am reaching out to you here because I maybe interested in your Shark Tank idea. I will be traveling from Atlanta to Kigali, should be touching down in Kigali right before Christmas. Please ping me privately let’s see if we can connect. My purpose of coming down to Kigali is to test the waters on whether it will be economically beneficial to setup a software development team. My time there will be really short but I plan to cover a lot of grown. I am hoping to kick things off by spring next year if everything works out and also if the talent pool pans out.
