Foreigners (except the Namibians) cannot stay in Angola without appropriate visas. This requirement doesn’t depend on the purpose of arrival, duration of stay, invitation, employment contract and other circumstances. Due to Angola’s remarkable performance in mining and oil sectors of the economy, employment visas to this country become very popular among engineers and experts in the development of natural resources from all over the world. The Angola’s government also seeks solutions to cater to the needs of tourists and other visitors and make the country safer and more open. There are already a number of short-term and long-term visa solutions for employment, studying and paying short visits to the country. We will look through the most popular visa types to help you find your perfect migration or travel solution.
All foreigners who need to pay a short visit to Angola (for example, to see a family, attend a business meeting, participate in a cultural event or undergo treatment in the hospital) as well as technicians invited for a brief repair job and sailors need a short-term visa that can be issued for either 7 or 30 days depending on the type. This category of visas doesn’t allow a foreigner to get involved in a profitable activity and doesn’t give prospects for a permanent residence.
Tourists, entrepreneurs and foreign individuals arriving to meet with their families can obtain this 30-days visa under the mandatory condition of being invited by the resident of Angola (either a company or a person). The visa doesn’t permit you to get involved in any profitable activity during your visit to Angola. Travels outside of Luanda are also prohibited because of landmines danger. After the visa is issued, you are given 60 days for paying your visit. If needed, the Ordinary visa can be extended for another 30 days.

For different emergency situations when an urgent family or business visit must be paid or when a foreigner needs to arrive for a medical treatment, attending cultural events or participating in repairs works, a 7-day Brief Duration Visa was developed. It is also used if a work visa for a foreigner is approved and they need to arrive for collecting it. This short-term visa prohibits participating in any employment or profitable activity and cannot be used for obtaining the country’s permanent residence.
Requirements and Papers
Foreign nationals who wish to stay in Angola for a longer time (either for an employment or study), as well as foreigners whose permanent status is in the processing, need to apply for a relevant long-term visa.
The long-term work visa enables a foreign technician or professional hired by a well-established Angolan company to work legally in the country during 1 year and enjoy multiple entries to Angola. The holder of this visa isn’t allowed to participate in any profitable activity that isn’t specified in the contract. A foreigner can take along their spouse and children (under separate applications). The visa can be extended twice for 1 year. Qualifying for the country’s PR status isn’t guaranteed for holders of this visa.
Requirements and Papers
This visa solution allows an international student who is enrolled or is going to enrol in an Angolan educational institution to study in the country during 1 year with a possibility to extend the visa for 1 year each time until the end of the course. The visa can be used for studying on every educational level: from a primary school to a university and an internship. Students are given multiple entries to the country but aren’t provided with an opportunity to work, run a business or establish a permanent residence in Angola.
Requirements and Papers
Foreigners who have claimed for the full resident status can stay legally in Angola using the 120-day residence visa. It can be extended for another 120 days until the result about the resident status is known. The visa allows a foreigner to be involved in doing business and employment as well as to cross the border as any times as needed.
