Non Rwandan citizens living in the country will next week be registered to be issued with Electronic Identification Cards replacing the paper ‘green cards.’
The Registration exercise will be conducted at district immigration offices and immigration headquarters.
Ange Sebutege, the Communication officer at the Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration,“The resident card is designed according to the wishes and proposals from non-nationals (customers) living in Rwanda and will be machine readable just like the national IDs.”
This card also gives the holder the right to access some of the services offered to nationals such as the right to obtain a driving license.
It will be launched in Gakenke, Rulindo, Gicumbi and Bugesera districts on October 15 and conclude in Huye, Gisagara, Kamonyi and Muhanga.
