For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

The DGIE presents this as a visitor-visa route. Its page says the single-entry fee is waived for nationals of countries with a visa-waiver arrangement, including African Union, Commonwealth and La Francophonie arrangements, but it does not give a complete nationality matrix for deciding who must obtain a visa in advance. V5 is issued on arrival at the border post, online, at the Directorate General, at a Rwandan diplomatic mission in the applicant's country of residence, or at another place determined by the Directorate General.
