Tunisian passport holders need an eVisa to enter Angola, and the good news is you can get it online before you travel. The process is straightforward and typically takes 1–4 business days, so you can handle it from home without visiting an embassy.

Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Angola eVisaYou must get this visa online before you travel; it cannot be obtained on arrival. Apply online before travel | Tunisian passport holders must obtain an Angola eVisa before arrival. Apply at the official Angola eVisa portal (smevisa.gov.ao). Processing takes 1-4 business days. The eVisa is not extendable. | Required |
| Passport validityCheck your passport expiry date — if it's less than 6 months away, renew it before applying for the eVisa. Valid for at least 6 months | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry into Angola. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe immigration officer needs a clean page to stamp your passport. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank visa page for the entry stamp upon arrival in Angola. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketHave your flight itinerary ready — immigration often asks to see it. Proof of departure | You may be asked to show a return or onward flight ticket proving you will leave Angola before your visa expires. | Required |
| Proof of fundsNot always checked, but having proof of funds can help avoid issues at immigration. Sufficient means of support | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds for your stay in Angola, such as bank statements or cash. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou don't need to fill out any extra arrival form beyond the standard immigration procedures. Not required | No separate arrival declaration is required for Tunisia passport holders entering Angola. | Not required |
Yellow fever certificate is mandatory
Even though Tunisia isn't a yellow fever country, Angola requires the certificate from all travellers. Without it, you may be denied entry or forced to get vaccinated at the airport (if available) — which can be a hassle. Get the shot at least 10 days before you fly.
eVisa is not extendable
The Angolan eVisa does not allow extensions. Plan your stay carefully and make sure you leave before the authorized period ends. Overstaying can lead to fines or future entry bans.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents
Before you start the online application, gather your passport (with 6+ months validity), a digital photo, hotel booking, and flight itinerary. Have your yellow fever certificate ready too, as you'll need it later.
2
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to https://www.smevisa.gov.ao/ and fill out the application form. Enter your details exactly as they appear on your passport. Upload your photo and supporting documents. Pay the visa fee online (if applicable) and submit.
3
Wait for processing
Processing takes 1–4 business days. Check your email (including spam folder) for the approval. If approved, you'll receive an eVisa document. If not, you may be asked for more info — respond quickly to avoid delays.
4
Print your eVisa and pack your documents
Print a copy of the eVisa approval and keep it with your passport. Also pack your yellow fever certificate, hotel booking, and return ticket. Make sure your passport has at least one blank page.
5
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 may ask about your stay — answer clearly. You'll get an entry stamp, usually valid for up to 30 days.
