  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: This guide pertains to visa on arrival. For longer stays or different visa types not obtainable on arrival, applying through a Madagascar embassy or consulate abroad well in advance is necessary.
  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: Check with your local embassy or consulate for any current travel advisories or specific bilateral agreements between Angola and Madagascar that may affect entry requirements.
  • Extension options inside Madagascar: Extensions for a visa obtained on arrival can sometimes be requested at the Ministry of Interior or immigration authorities in Madagascar, but this is not guaranteed and should be initiated well before the current visa expires. It is advisable to obtain the maximum intended stay upon arrival if possible.
