Hungarian passport holders can enter Angola without a visa for stays up to 30 days. This visa-free policy started in 2023 and covers tourism, business, and transit. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of entry.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Hungarian passport needs to be valid for at least the full 30 days you plan to stay in Angola. Airlines at Budapest and Luanda check this before boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Angola | Immigration at Quatro de Fevereiro Airport (LAD) will ask for a printed or digital onward ticket showing you leave within 30 days. Budget airlines like TAAG and Ethiopian enforce this strictly at check-in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. Officers occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry at least $200 USD in cash or have a bank statement showing sufficient balance. Angola is a cash-heavy country and immigration may ask to see proof of means. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Angola, not from when you leave. Double-check before you fly.
No visa extensions available
The 30-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. If you overstay, you'll face fines and possible deportation. Plan your exit accordingly.
