Hello,

I'd like to ask about Business registration and getting a work permit in Rwanda.

I was told business registration can be done in a day and a Work permit can be done in 7 working days.

Is this information correct?

Thanks

its a day to . you must open an office to get a permit.

But my business is freelancing... I work from home..will I still need an office?

If yes...

Let's assume I land in Rwanda on Sunday, my business on Monday, and also secure an office on that Monday, can I immediately apply for a permit, will the permit be granted within the 7 working days or they will consider for how long I have been using the office?

freelancing or online business doesn't get a permit, you can apply immediately if you open an office, it might take up to 2-3 weeks because they will physically inspect your office and operations. no other way around it.

It's not a must. It depends on the nature of your business

As a Nigerian extra step will be taken.. They will most likely inspect your office physically

Please are there Nigerians or Abokis who can easily change RWF to naira for me from time to time?
