  • Transit visa: for short stopovers, valid up to 5 days

How to apply

  • Apply in person at the nearest Angolan embassy or consulate, as Kenya may not have a resident Angolan mission (check the nearest regional mission, e.g. via a neighboring country)
  • Submit the completed application form with photos, invitation/hotel proof, yellow fever certificate, and financial evidence
  • Pay the visa fee at the embassy or via bank transfer as instructed

Fees & processing time

  • Tourist single-entry visa: approximately USD 100-120
  • Business visa: approximately USD 120-160, higher for multiple entry
  • Standard processing: 5-10 working days
  • Express processing, where available, may reduce this to 2-3 working days for an additional fee
  • Fees are generally payable in USD cash or by bank transfer per embassy instructions

Tips for Kenya travelers

  • Apply at least 3-4 weeks in advance, particularly if routing through a regional embassy outside Kenya
  • Ensure your yellow fever certificate is valid, as Angola strictly enforces this requirement at entry
  • Common rejection reasons include missing invitation letters and incomplete financial proof
  • Business travelers should have their Angolan host register the invitation with local immigration authorities beforehand
  • Extensions inside Angola are handled by the Serviço de Migração e Estrangeiros (SME) and should be requested before the visa expires
