Rwandan Honorary Consulate in Australia

Rwanda has an honorary consulate in Melbourne; an honorary consul offers first help and passes documents on, but visas and passports are issued elsewhere.

No visa is needed by Australian citizens for Rwanda, for stays of up to 30 days.

Australia has no mission in Rwanda on record; Australian citizens there would be served by an embassy accredited from another country.
