Angola Visa Eligibility
Who needs a visa, who may be exempt, and how eligibility depends on nationality and purpose.
Important
Whether you need a visa for Angola, and which one, depends on your nationality and the purpose of your trip. Nationals of countries listed under the tourism visa-exemption decree can enter visa-free for short leisure stays, while many other travellers must obtain a tourism e-visa or a purpose-specific visa in advance.
Work, study, investment, family-reunification and residence all require the corresponding visa category under Law no. 13/19 — the tourism visa and exemption cover leisure travel only and do not allow work or residence.
Key eligibility points

- Some nationalities are exempt from the tourism visa for short stays
