The 60-second version
Rwanda exit needs employer PAYE certificate and RRA compliance letter. I export RSSB statements, close RWF/USD account, wire to NRE, and map RNOR for retained holdings.
RRA withholding proof before closing mobile-money float
Rwanda taxes residents on worldwide income — I obtain employer PAYE reconciliation and confirm RRA TIN has no open assessments before departure.
Work permit cancel through employer; retain DGIE exit documentation for India ITR overlap year.
RSSB member statement export even if lump-sum not yet paid — needed for Form 67 and benefit claims.
