This current destination-government rule supersedes the older eVisa classification. - The source establishes visa abolition for Rwandan citizens; it does not establish work, residence, diplomatic, official, service, special-document, or individual-admissibility treatment. - Botswana's current visitor guidance states a maximum stay of 90 days in each calendar year; ordinary passport validity and other border conditions remain applicable. Official sources: - [Government of Botswana: Botswana and Rwanda Sign Six Bilateral Agreements](https://www.gov.bw/botswana-and-rwanda-sign-six-bilateral-agreements) - [Government of Botswana: About Our Country: Immigration](https://www.gov.bw/about-our-country-0?page=0) - **Current official route — Named ordinary passports: visa-free short visitors** (Visa-free) The official Washington Embassy's full current named visa-free schedule supports this reconcilable ordinary-passport cohort. Passports disputed by the current statutory Tourism Organisation schedule are excluded. - The Embassy lists this cohort among countries whose citizens do not require a visa. It does not establish visa-free work, residence, business, transit, diplomatic, official, service, special-document or individual-admissibility treatment. - Government guidance requires a passport valid at least six months in the absence of a specific bilateral agreement, caps visitor stays at 90 days in each calendar year, and says extensions are available from Immigration. - No general arrival authorization or visa-on-arrival status is inferred. Border officials may apply normal documentary, health, security and admission controls. Official sources: - [Embassy of the Republic of Botswana, Washington, D.C.: Guidelines for Completing a Visa Application](https://botswanaembassy.org/page/guidelines-for-completing-a-visa-application) - [Government of Botswana: About Our Country: Immigration](https://www.gov.bw/about-our-country-0?page=0) - **Current official route — Named ordinary passports: advance online tourist visa** (eVisa) The official Washington Embassy required-country schedule, supplemented for Marshall Islands by the statutory Tourism Organisation's required list, establishes a visitor visa requirement. The Department of Immigration makes the tourist application available online through the official eVisa portal and at missions; it is normalized as an advance eVisa route. - Submit the tourism-visa application before travel through the official eVisa portal, or at an Immigration office, Botswana mission or consulate. The Department says online approval/rejection is accessed in the portal. - An online-approved traveller may travel with the approval letter as proof of the visa; Immigration prints the visa at the airport or other port of entry. This post-approval printing is not a nationality-wide visa-on-arrival finding. - The Government page says the service takes 7–14 working days. A tourism visa is for recreational travel, with a single entry up to one month or multiple entry up to three months; it does not authorize work, residence, business-only, transit, diplomatic, official, service or special-document treatment. - The application requires a passport valid at least six months, photographs, covering letter, flight and accommodation itinerary, trip itinerary and intention to depart; a re-entry permit may be required for the country of residence. Approval and admission remain discretionary. - Government visitor information caps visitors at 90 days in each calendar year and permits extensions through Immigration. The cited nationality schedules lack effective dates and include obsolete or inconsistent country labels; the eVisa frontend is dated 2021 and did not yield selector evidence. Reconfirm directly with Immigration before travel or promotion.

Mozambique is a current Commonwealth member and is not one of those exceptions. - The exemption is derived from Botswana's express current Commonwealth rule, together with official confirmation that Mozambique is a Commonwealth member; the seven named visa-required Commonwealth countries do not include Mozambique. - The sources do not establish work, residence, diplomatic, official, service, special-document, or individual-admissibility treatment. - Botswana's current visitor guidance states a maximum stay of 90 days in each calendar year; ordinary passport validity and other border conditions remain applicable. Official sources: - [Government of Botswana: About Our Country: Immigration](https://www.gov.bw/about-our-country-0?page=0) - [Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Mozambique](https://www.dfat.gov.au/geo/mozambique) - **Current official route — Russian ordinary passports: current visa-free entry under the bilateral agreement** (Visa-free) The Russian Foreign Ministry's current consular table states that Russian citizens enter Botswana visa-free for up to 90 days and links the 2019 bilateral agreement on mutual abolition of visa requirements for citizens. Botswana's current Government guidance confirms that nationals covered by a visa-abolition agreement do not require a visa. - The Russian Foreign Ministry table states visa-free entry for Russian citizens for up to 90 days. It separately distinguishes the older diplomatic-and-service-passport agreement from the 2019 agreement covering citizens. - The sources do not establish work, residence, diplomatic, official, service, special-document, or individual-admissibility treatment. - Botswana's current visitor guidance states a maximum stay of 90 days in each calendar year; ordinary passport validity and other border conditions remain applicable.

Official source: - [Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic: Czech MFA: Botswana entry-visa regime](https://mzv.gov.cz/jnp/cz/encyklopedie_statu/afrika/botswana/cestovani/visa.html) - **Current official route — Slovak ordinary passports: Botswana visa-free visits** (Visa-free) Slovak MFA guidance says Slovak tourists and business visitors do not need a Botswana visa for 30 days. - This named ordinary-passport visitor rule is limited to tourism and business stays of 30 days.

It is normalized as advance visa required. - This is the Ministry's ordinary-passport short-visitor baseline. The source separately labels eVisa and visa-on-arrival rows, so a bare "Visa is required" row is not recast as either route. - Georgia and Panama have separately stated waivers for holders of specified third-country visas.
