Visas for Angola

Obtaining a visa for Angola is mandatory in order to enter Angolan territory.

You have two choices:

– either you apply for a Visa at the consulate.

– or you apply for an eVisa.

Regarding a Visa application at the consulate, the traveller must make an appointment with the Angolan consular authorities to submit their file as well as their fingerprints (procedure to be carried out with each visa application).

It should be noted that you can mandate Visa Travel International to collect your passport with Visa. To do this, you will need to send us the receipt for the file obtained from the consulate. This can be sent to us by email at contact@visatravel.fr or dropped off directly at our agency.

Regarding the eVisa, going through the consulate is not required and everything is done online before departure. Payment of the sum of 120 dollars will be made on arrival at the airport in Angola (this sum may vary depending on the nationality of the passenger).

In this case, Visa Travel International is able to take care of your request and you will find a list of the items to be offered in our section “Documents to provide”.

This exemption allows you to stay in Angola for up to 30 days per entry, for a cumulative total of 90 days per year. French people must present at the border a passport whose validity exceeds the planned stay.

Tourists wishing to stay more than 30 days in a row will need to apply for a tourist visa online before arriving on Angolan territory.

It is advisable to obtain a visa before departure from the Consulate General of Angola in Paris.
