Visitors to Angola must obtain a visa from one of the Angolan diplomatic missions or online unless they come from one of the visa exempt countries.
A tourist visa must be used within 60 days from the issue date and is valid for 30 days, a period that can be extended once for an additional period of 30 days. Passports must have a validity of 9 months and 2 blank pages. Transit without visa is allowed for passengers continuing their trip to a third country by the same or first departing plane if they do not leave the airport.[1]
Angola is expected to become part of the universal KAZA visa.[2][3]
