What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry, with at least 2 blank pages
  • No visa required for tourist stays up to 30 days
  • Return or onward ticket, which immigration officers commonly request
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host address)
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the length of stay
  • Yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for all travelers to Angola, checked on arrival
  • No biometrics collected for visa-free entry; a photo may be taken at the immigration desk
  • Travel health insurance is recommended but not required for entry

Visa types

  • Visa-free tourist entry: up to 30 days, single or multiple entries
  • Business visa (if visa-free entry does not cover your purpose): apply in advance through the Angolan consulate, fee varies by category, requires a company invitation letter
  • Long-stay visa: required for stays beyond 30 days or for work/residence purposes, applied for before travel

Entry conditions

  • Up to 30 days visa-free for tourism purposes
  • Work of any kind is not permitted on visa-free entry
  • On arrival, present your passport, yellow fever certificate, and be ready to show your return ticket and accommodation details
  • Extensions beyond 30 days must be requested from the Angolan Immigration and Foreigners Service (SME) before the visa-free period expires, and are not guaranteed

Fees & processing time

  • Visa-free entry: no fee
  • Business visa (if required): fees vary by category, generally in the range of USD 80-120, processed through the consulate in 5-10 working days
  • No VFS/BLS service fee for visa-free entry
  • Total cost estimate for tourist visa-free entry: USD 0
  • Extensions, if granted, carry an administrative fee payable to SME in Angola

Tips for Algeria travelers

  • Carry your yellow fever vaccination certificate at all times - this is checked more strictly than almost anything else on entry to Angola
  • If your trip is for business, arrange the proper visa before travel rather than relying on the 30-day visa-free allowance, since work activity is not covered
  • Keep proof of your return ticket and accommodation accessible, as immigration officers routinely ask for them even on visa-free entry
  • Plan your itinerary so that your stay comfortably fits within 30 days, since extensions are not guaranteed and can take time to process
  • Angola's visa rules have changed significantly in recent years as part of a broader visa liberalization policy, so confirm current terms close to your travel date
