Rwanda considers visa fee exemptions for Commonwealth member states
Hopefully a great news!

Rwanda is considering waiving visa fees for a broad category of visitors entering the country, president Paul Kagame is reported to have said in London.

The waiver if eventually passed will mean that all Africans, citizens of Commonwealth nations and the Francophonie will be admitted into Rwanda without having to pay visa fees.
- OIF ( Francophonie) includes Belgium, Canada, Luxembourg and Switzerland.
- African Union also includes the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic

If this come to fruition, not sure the EATV will have a future - unless Burundi (maybe), Tanzania (unlikely) and South Sudan ( not now) join the initiative.

As of today, citizens of countries members to the African Union, the Commonwealth and La Francophonie get visa upon arrival and are waived visa fees for a stay of 30 days.
