Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Angola. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Angola | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward ticket showing you leave Angola within 30 days. Airlines also verify this before issuing a boarding pass — have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Angola. Immigration may ask for it at the border, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry evidence of sufficient funds — around $200 USD per day of stay is a safe benchmark. A recent bank statement or credit card with a decent limit usually satisfies the officer. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
Angola requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate for all travellers. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated on arrival (and pay a fee). Get the shot at least 10 days before you fly.
No visa needed — but don't skip document prep
Visa-free entry is straightforward, but immigration can still ask for proof of onward travel and accommodation. Have digital copies on your phone and a printed backup just in case.
