There are several other tax exemptions on imported goods including: machinery and raw materials; privileges on movable property and equipment such as personal car, personal and household properties; equipment in the education field; specialized vehicles; tourist chartered airplanes; medical equipments, medical products, agricultural equipments and livestock; equipment meant for tourism and hotel industry... Non fiscal incentives include free initial one-year work permits for foreign workers and the aquisition of permanent residency (granted to an investor if he deposits an amount of at least USD 500,000 on an account in a Rwandan commercial bank for a period no less than six months).
