If you’re planning to visit Burundi, understanding the visa process is the first step to ensuring a smooth journey.

At M Travel and Tours Burundi, we make your travel easier by guiding you through the visa process, arranging airport pick-ups, booking hotels, and organizing private tours.

Visa Options for Burundi

• eVisa (Recommended): Apply online before departure and present your approval letter upon arrival. This option allows faster clearance and less stress when entering Burundi.
• Visa-Free Entry: Citizens of East African Community countries such as Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda can enter Burundi visa-free with a valid ID or passport.
