Rwandan citizens traveling to Jordan no longer need visas as per a reciprocity deal signed by both countries' Ministers of Foreign Affairs.

This comes after the two countries signed three agreements including a visa waiver for holders of ordinary passports, as announced by Rwanda’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, on August 9.

Through a post on its Twitter page, the Ministry indicated that a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on housing and urban development and another MoU on diplomatic training were also signed during Foreign Affairs Minister Vincent Biruta’s two-day official visit to Amman – the capital and largest city of Jordan.

Biruta and his delegation held a strategic dialogue with his counterpart from Jordan where a wide range of bilateral initiatives and projects were discussed.
