Australian citizens get a free 30-day tourist visa on arrival in Rwanda (the fee is waived for Commonwealth nationals). Rwanda's immigration service says arrival visas are available at Kigali International Airport and all land borders. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months, and you need enough funds.
