Tourist visa and tourist visa exemption
Angola exempts nationals of a long list of countries from the tourist visa for stays of up to 30 days per entry and 90 days per year. Other nationals apply for a tourist visa. The application is started online with the Migration and Foreigners Service (SME), and a consulate visit for an interview and biometrics follows. The tourist visa allows a stay of up to 30 days, which can be extended once for the same period.
