How to apply (e-Visa)

  • Visit the official e-Visa portal: https://www.evisa.gov.tr/
  • Select your nationality (Angola) and travel document type (Passport).
  • Choose your visa type (e.g., Short-Term Visit).
  • Fill out the application form accurately with your personal details, passport information, and travel dates.
  • Pay the e-Visa fee online using a credit or debit card. The fee varies based on nationality and visa type (e.g., approximately USD 20-50).
  • Upon successful payment and approval, your e-Visa will be sent to your email address.
  • Print the e-Visa and carry it with you when traveling to Turkey. You may be asked to present it at the port of entry.
  • Processing time is usually within 24 hours, but it's advisable to apply at least 48 hours before your departure.
  • Note: The e-Visa facility is generally for tourism and short business trips. If your stay exceeds 90 days or for other purposes like work or study, you must apply for a sticker visa through the embassy.

How to apply (Sticker Visa)

  • Check the Turkish Embassy or Consulate website in Angola for the most up-to-date application procedures and requirements.
  • Schedule an appointment at the designated visa application center (e.g., VFS Global, if applicable) or directly at the embassy.
  • Gather all required documents: passport, application form, photos, financial proof, flight reservations, accommodation proof, invitation letter (if applicable).
  • Submit your application in person at the visa application center or embassy. You will likely have your biometrics (fingerprints and photo) taken.
  • Pay the visa fee and any applicable service fees. Payment methods accepted will be specified by the application center/embassy.
  • Standard processing time is typically 10-15 working days, but can extend up to 30 days during peak seasons.
  • An interview may be required in some cases.
  • The embassy or consulate will affix the visa sticker to your passport upon approval.

Fees & processing time

  • e-Visa Fee: Approximately USD 20 for a single-entry visa, and USD 50 for a multiple-entry visa. These fees are subject to change and are paid online.
  • Sticker Visa Fee: Varies depending on the visa type and duration. For a short-term visit visa, it can range from USD 60 to USD 120. This fee is paid at the visa application center or embassy.
  • VFS/BLS Service Fee: If using a visa application center, an additional service fee (typically USD 20-40) will apply.
  • Total Cost Estimate: For an e-Visa, expect around USD 20-50. For a sticker visa, the total cost could be USD 80-160 or more, including service fees.
  • Standard Processing Time: e-Visas are typically processed within 24 hours. Sticker visas can take 10-15 working days, with potential extensions up to 30 days.

Tips for Angola travelers

  • Apply in advance: It is recommended to apply for your e-Visa at least 7 days before your intended travel date, and for sticker visas, at least 4-6 weeks in advance.
  • Common rejection reasons: Insufficient financial proof, unclear purpose of visit, incomplete application forms, or previous visa violations.
  • VFS/BLS vs. direct embassy application: Visa application centers often offer more convenient appointment slots and streamlined processes, but come with an additional fee. Direct embassy applications might be more time-consuming but can sometimes be less expensive.
  • Travel advisories: Always check for any current travel advisories or specific entry requirements issued by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs or your local Angolan authorities before your trip.
  • Extension options: Visa extensions within Turkey are generally not straightforward for short-term visit visas and are subject to strict conditions and approval from Turkish immigration authorities. It is best to ensure your initial visa covers your intended stay duration. Applying for a longer-term visa before arrival is usually the recommended approach if a longer stay is planned.
