apostille
The apostille for Rwanda is placed by the MEA after verification in India – degrees through the university or state education department, medical and nursing registrations through the council, company documents through a chamber of commerce, civil certificates through the home department or SDM. Rwanda’s immigration directorate, the Rwanda Development Board and employers accept them, usually in English.

Until mid-2024, Indian documents for Rwanda needed legalisation through the High Commission. Rwanda’s accession took effect on 5 June 2024 and India did not object, so the MEA apostille is now sufficient.
Rwanda actively attracts investors and skilled professionals; Indian companies registering with the Rwanda Development Board and Indian faculty, doctors and IT specialists are frequent users of the apostille for Rwanda.
