Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the full 30 days you plan to stay in Angola. Airlines at Casablanca and other departure points check this before boarding. If your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Angola | Immigration at Quatro de Fevereiro Airport (LAD) routinely asks for a confirmed onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. Without one, you may be refused entry. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Officers sometimes ask where you are staying. A printed hotel confirmation or a letter from a host with their address and phone number is enough. If you are staying with friends, have their contact details written down. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | You may be asked to show you have enough money for your stay. Carry at least $200 USD in cash or have a bank statement ready. ATMs in Luanda are unreliable, so bring dollars or euros in cash. | Recommended |
Yellow fever vaccine is mandatory
You must have a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate (Yellow Card) to enter Angola. Without it, you risk being denied entry or forced to vaccinate at the airport.
Visa-free is for 30 days only
The 30-day stay cannot be extended. If you plan a longer trip, apply for a visa at an Angolan embassy before you leave.
