Frequently asked questions

No, the visa-free entry is not extendable. You must leave before 30 days. For longer stays, you'd need to apply for a visa at an Angolan embassy before travel.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by Angolan immigration. Renew your passport before traveling.

Yes, the visa-free policy applies at all entry points — air, land, and sea. Just have your passport and return ticket ready.
The local currency is the Angolan kwanza (AOA). US dollars are widely accepted in hotels and larger businesses, but you'll need kwanzas for street vendors and taxis. ATMs are available in Luanda but can be unreliable.
Angola is generally safe for tourists, but petty crime like pickpocketing happens in crowded areas. Avoid walking alone at night in cities. Stick to registered taxis or ride-hailing apps.
