Rwanda

Conditional

Issuer: No permit for casual street photography; Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and the Rwanda Film Office for filming and professional photography permits (applications via the Irembo portal), plus park permits for wildlife work

Personal photography needs no permit. Commercial filming and professional photography require an RDB permit; filming gorillas commercially needs a separate filming permit on top of trekking permits.

Regulated by the Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority (RCAA) with risk-based categories; foreign citizens cannot register drones directly and must have a Rwandan citizen, resident, or entity register and operate on their behalf

Activity permits are reported at 2 to 4 weeks' processing and registration up to three months, so this is not a spontaneous-flight country. Night flights are prohibited. National parks require additional permissions. For depth, see Drone Authority.

Yes for ordinary street scenes, with significant exclusions

It is prohibited to photograph military sites, government buildings, airports, and some public monuments; enforcement around ministries and the presidential area in Kigali is real. Genocide memorials restrict interior photography; follow posted rules and staff guidance.

Restricted (non-commercial only when the work is the main subject)

Law No. 31/2009 (Art. 210) permits reproducing public artworks except where the work is the main subject of the image and the use is commercial, so there is no commercially usable freedom of panorama for copyrighted works. Landscapes and wildlife are unaffected. Wikimedia Commons classifies Rwanda as no-FoP.
