I won't advise any investor to go into real estate especially serviced apartments. Most of the hotels and serviced apartments are not 1/4 full. We are just only three in my serviced apartment around Kiyovu. Many investors are regretting it. In fact, a lot of hotels and serviced apartments are put up for sale.

I won't also advise anybody to invest in a shopping mall. The indigenes do not have the purchasing power. If you go to Nakumatt, you rarely see them except foreigners.Nice but,what business would you advice one to invest in?

Agbaletu:

A bank statement is not required.

Tintas:
Oh thanks. Any need for physical cash as per Immigration or cards suffice for that. Does one need an iv?

heaven4me:
Mr agbaletu thanks for the info so far but can you buttress more points on businesses and investments that is most suitable to manage over there.Also,how easy is having a business permit there?How about living standard too?Thanks.

Finished products like?
I know that clothes and shoes are cheaper than Nigeria.

First of all, thanks for your reply,when I say finished products,i mean consumer goods like
Noodles,chin chin,Can malt drink,alcoholic beverages,naija food,goods manufactured by nestle,unilever,maize meal like semo and semolina,naija palmoil,womens wigs,organic honey.
In a nutshell sir,what i'm trying to say is that,are there somethings they are lacking in rwanda,that might be a business opportunity,what can be exported from Nigeria to Rwanda.

StackNerd:


Two people can look at a thing and see it differently

Agbaletu:

Google Rwanda Revenue Autthority (RRA), Rwanda Development Board(RDB) and IREMBO. These Government Agencies are saddled with the responsibilities of business permit and others. If you can do your store to a sandard not like the way we do in Nigeria o. Security is 100% sure.
Have it at the back of your mind that Rwandans and East Africans first before others. Small scale business is mostly reserved for these people. If you have enough cash, you are good to go.
I would have checked these agencies but I just came back and won't be returning until April.

Rwandans don't eat swallow (semo, semolina, palm oil are zero)
Good luck!

Welcome back fam...Im back and can't wait to go back too. How many days did you spend? How easy is it to extend their visas and get a residence permit?

Agbaletu:

I am actually an International Consultant for one of the Government's Agencies for the past one Year. I will soon round off.
It is very easy to extend your visa or get residence permit.
Just go to the immigration office with a letter of introduction that states the purpose why you need visa extension or residence permit, police report from Nigeria, your degree certificates and you pay 100,000RwF to get 14 months residence permit. I think your visa can be extended for another 39 days without the police report.

AngelicBeing:
100,000Rwf is equivalent to 120 US dollars, am l correct?

Agbaletu:

Correct.
100,000RwF is for residence permit.
I think 30$ for a month visa extension.

AngelicBeing:
Wow, Their residence permits is very cheap, the country seems to be a good destination for investors but you need good capital for a good startup, a friend of mine is planning to invest in the entertainment industry and also to open a coffee shop their

Agbaletu:

If he is serious, he will make it in both entertainment and running a coffee shop - lots of coffee there.

smato:
People have said a lot about this country.how much will l spend to go there from Nigeria, spend a week hotel reservation and feeding plus return ticket

Tintas:

heaven4me:

heaven4me:
Hahahahaha,you can say that again suxes....I heard those Rwandan shollies are.......lips sealed!But it aches me whenever our brothers jet out and fail to update the house main while it was from people's update here,they got what helped them in going to those places.

kaffy4tope:
Wow, I'm in Kigali now. I can't believe I'm in Africa.


This place is Dope.
