The Consular Section at U.S. Embassy Kigali continues to experience high demand, which has increased the wait time to schedule a nonimmigrant visa appointment.

Applicants seeking emergency visa appointments should review these instructions before requesting an expedited appointment.(Last update: September 6, 2023)
