Consular Section

The Consular Section is the principal office in the Mission assisting U.S. citizens in Rwanda. It provides services to help protect citizens' rights and interests. It also provides essential welfare and humanitarian aid in cases of emergency.

Beyond this responsibility to the American Citizens, the consular section is a prime actor in the administration of U.S. immigration law, issuing visas for residence in the United States.

The issuance of non-resident visas for touring, doing business and studying in the United States is also undertaken by the Consulate.
