Help me understand.

Why is street food frowned apon here. Sure keeping our city clean is great, but is there no way to do it right. Nkubu ndashaka nikiraha town nakibuze. I spent time abroad and the best time of my day was getting out of the office with the colleagues at lunch headed for the food trucks and there was a different one every other day. This is why we don’t have creative chefs 😂 ahantu hose ni umuceri n’amafiriti uba uri umusirimu

Where can I buy a roadmap?

Hi! I'm planning a motorcycle trip all around Rwanda, and I'm in need of a roadmap. I'm currently in Kigali, but haven't been able to find a proper map. What I'm looking for is a simple, foldable paper roadmap over the whole country. Is there a store that sells maps? Or where can I get my hands on a map like this?

EATV on arrival- what do I need?

We will land in Kigali Dec 9th and plan to visit Uganda. Our plan is to apply and pay for the East Africa Tourist Visa on arrival in Kigali. Does everyone in our family need to bring a 'passport sized' picture with them in order to apply?

Everyone will have their passports (with >6 month left), proof of yellow fever vaxx, our travel itinerary, and proof of return ticket.

Thanks!

Hey Kigalians! I'm trying to sell my gaming laptop Acer Nitro 5 if anyone is interested:

It's in pretty great condition, great space, and I've only had it for about 3 months. Current price is 950k negotiable. Let me know if you're interested and I can send you a DM or arrange a meet-up. Thanks!

Looking for Ideas and Advice on Starting a Laundry Business in Rwanda 🇷🇼

Hey everyone,

I’m interested in starting a laundry business in Rwanda and would love to get some input from those with experience in the industry or anyone with insights on the Rwandan market.

I’m considering a full-service laundry and dry-cleaning option. Here are a few things I’d love advice on: 1. What are the biggest challenges of running a laundry business in Rwanda? 2. Are there specific regulations or licenses I need to be aware of? 3. What locations (urban vs. suburban) would be ideal for this type of business? 4. How important is offering pickup and delivery services in this market? 5. What’s the best way to stand out from competitors in the laundry sector?

I’m also curious about any eco-friendly or innovative ideas that might be well-received in Rwanda.

Trip suggestions.

Hi! I am looking to travel to Rwanda in about a week from Kenya. I have already added a few things to do around Kigali and a visit to Lake Kivu. I am hoping for suggestions on other budget activities to do or places to visit. Also, how safe is it crossing the border to Goma? Thanks!

Looking to learn and connect: crypto atocks and ETFS

Hi everyone, I’m interested in investing in crypto, stocks, and ETFs, and I’m eager to expand my knowledge in these areas. I’m looking to connect with people who share the same interests, whether it’s through online communities, forums, or even Discord groups.

Do you have any recommendations for active, beginner-friendly spaces where I can learn, exchange ideas, and grow my portfolio? I’d also appreciate tips on any resources like books, podcasts, or courses that have been helpful to you.

RSSB

What do you all think of the new contribution rates from RSSB? the required contribution rate is going from 6% to 12% effective immediately and gradually from 12% to 20% over the next 5 years.

Are spas a cover for brothels?

In the last few years ive noticed spas , sauna and massage places pop up everywhere, some neighbourhoods have so many there is no way the population could sustain them! These aren't particularly nice looking either, for the most part. This Ieads me to wonder, and based on things I've heard from friends, is it true these are basically brothels?

Camping Gas Canister: Where to buy?

I need a camping gas canister for a small camping stove. I tried to find one in a lot of small stores and supermarkets in downtown Kigali but couldn’t find one and am a bit surprised that it’s so hard to find this item. People I asked also didn’t really seem to understand what I was looking for, in other outdoorsy countries like South Africa or Kenya it was always pretty easy to buy outdoor equipment.

Does anyone know a place where I could buy one?

Thanks :)

IWantOut as a Millennial to Rwanda. How well does your Immigration Ministry treat half-white, half-Asian American immigrants? I must find a decent country to escape to before Trump's policies hurt me. BTW, is your health insurance still USD$8/year? I will have SSDI as my passive income.

I was going to post to r/IWantOut but I don't like being forced to share my age anywhere on Reddit. I will share my generation, albeit reluctantly; I'm a Millennial.

I have years of delivery driving experience. I also hold a CDL. I would also know how to take pictures of products and list them online, and be a social media worker. How much demand is there for those kinds of jobs?

I have a Bachelor's in Social Sciences, so what jobs would that get me in Rwanda? I also have a minor in Leadership.

As soon as my gig with Doordash ends, I'd see my SSDI rise from $593 to perhaps around $1000/month. Hopefully Trump won't remove that. But in case he does, what Rwandan jobs pay USD$125/day, which is my usual earnings goal on Doordash?

What jobs will Rwandans be more likely to grant to White and East Asian immigrants? What jobs will fit White & East Asian immigrants better than locals?

To get permanent residence permits, what are the requirements? Is there a language mastery requirement? I could continue to learn Swahili on Duolingo, but KinyaRwanda isn't on that app/site, so what are some of the best apps for learning Kinyarwanda? And then what are the requirements to earn a full Rwandan Citizenship?

What happens if I ship my car to Rwanda before I pay the lien (auto loan) off? If I then stop paying on the auto loan, will my car get repossessed by a Rwandan repo agent even though the credit union the car is financed through is in the USA? Or will it be cheaper to return my car to the credit union before I leave the US and then buy another car locally once I settle into your country? How common are plug-in hybrids there?

What do I need to know about your low-cost USD$8/year health insurance?

If I choose to go back to college, which of your colleges instruct in English? (I'll be sure to take language classes for your national languages, too.)

Then when I resolve all other issues associated with naturalizing in Rwanda, I'd like to find a future wife and start a family. How much do local women desire White & East Asian men with a passive overseas income?

And what other tips do you have for Americans looking to resettle in Rwanda to escape Trump's hurtful policies?
