visa issued on arrival

Policy note

Rwanda MFA official page (minaffet.gov.rw) confirms the 2016 Rwanda-Guinea bilateral agreement provides: 'visa waiver for holders of diplomatic, service, or official passports, AND issuance of visas at entry points to the territory for holders of ordinary passports.' The 'issuance of visas at entry points' language indicates visa-on-arrival for ordinary passport holders, not unconditional visa-free entry.

Per safety rule (classify DOWN when in doubt), moved to visa_on_arrival. Max stay duration not specified in the agreement text. The prior entry had no max_stay_days.
