eVisa is not extendable
The Angola eVisa is single-entry and cannot be extended. If you overstay, you'll face fines and possible deportation. Plan your exit date carefully.
Apply early — don't rely on the 1-4 day processing
While the official processing time is 1-4 business days, technical glitches or missing documents can delay approval. Apply at least 2 weeks before your flight to avoid last-minute stress.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents
Scan your passport bio page, get a digital passport photo, and have your flight and accommodation details ready. Make sure your passport has at least 6 months validity and one blank page.
2
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to https://www.smevisa.gov.ao/ and fill out the application form. Upload your photo and passport scan, enter your travel dates, and pay the fee. Processing takes 1-4 business days, so apply at least a week before departure.
3
Receive and print your eVisa
Check your email for the eVisa approval. Print a copy (or save it on your phone) to present at check-in and at Angolan immigration. Keep a backup — you'll need it to board your flight.
4
Arrive at the airport in Angola
At Luanda's Quatro de Fevereiro Airport (or other entry points), go to the immigration desk. Present your passport, eVisa, and yellow fever certificate. The officer will stamp your passport and note your allowed stay. Have your return ticket ready if asked.
5
Enter and enjoy your stay
Once stamped, you're in. Keep your eVisa copy with you — you may need it for hotel check-ins or if you extend your stay (though the eVisa is not extendable).
