1. Documentation.
- You can’t migrate without the right documents. Documents that prove your identity and Rwanda educational qualifications are particularly necessary. In addition, you need to keep copies of your application forms, receipts, employer recommendations and health records. A perfect application requires documentation for verification purposes.
2. Research.
- Find out all there is to know about the country where you plan to start a new life. Most importantly, learn about the culture, language, and people, as once you settle, you will need to find your way around. Get to know how the immigration process in this country works, and if you stand a chance of getting employment.
3. Identify Work Opportunities.
- Are there jobs for skilled immigrants in your country of choice? If so, do you need to have a particular visa or job invitation before you relocate from Rwanda? Find out what job skills are marketable, and the required qualifications. It is worth noting that once you have a work visa and have been in employment for a while, you can apply for residency.
4. Be honest.
- People mistakenly believe that immigration officials will not spot the inconsistencies in their applications. On the contrary, the officials are quick to pick out anything in your application that does not make sense. To avoid having your request rejected, give the right information in your application, be truthful during the interview and ensure that your documents are genuine.
5. Avoid immigration violations
- Every country has strict laws that every migrant must adhere to. Staying in the country illegally, falsifying documents, and harboring illegal immigrants are a few examples of violations. Offenders face expulsion from the country to Kigali, as well as permanent inadmissibility.
6. Follow the correct application procedure
- Although most visa application processes are simple, people still make mistakes that lead to disqualification. You can avoid rejection by reading all the instructions before you make your application. Fill in the application form precisely and submit it in good time. Provide the documents required, in the correct format. Pay your visa interview fee in advance, and be sure to attend the interview. Finally, organize yourself so that nothing in the application process catches you off guard.
7. Stay clear of criminal convictions and drug-related offenses
- No country will welcome someone who has a criminal record and is likely to be a danger to society. Also, any form of drug-related activity will lead to disqualification. Stay clean, as this will reflect positively in your application. You are also likely to succeed if you are in good health, and of good character.
