Closing days
Expect the embassy to be closed on Swedish holidays such as the National Day (6 June), Midsummer Eve and Christmas Eve. The Rwandan national day, 1 July, normally means a closure too. If your visit falls close to a holiday, confirm by phone or e-mail.
Emergency assistance
In an emergency, Rwandan citizens should call the embassy on +46 8 500 019 70. The embassy can help with lost passports, arrests and serious accidents, but it cannot cover costs or interfere with Swedish authorities. In Sweden, the emergency number is 112. Swedish citizens who need help in Rwanda should contact the Swedish embassy responsible for the country or the Swedish Foreign Ministry’s 24-hour consular duty service on +46 8 405 50 05; Sweden Abroad lists the local contacts.
