Do I Need a Visa for Angola?

Yes. All US citizens traveling to Angola must have a visa in advance of arrival. In addition to a visa, you must have a valid passport that has six months of validity remaining after your planned departure date from Angola. Angola will not issue a visa to travelers whose passports do not meet this requirement. It is also advisable to have at least one blank visa page in your passport for the entry stamp since travelers whose passports did not meet this requirement have encountered delays and issues with the immigration authorities upon arrival. Finally, you must present an international certificate of vaccination that shows proof of having received the yellow fever vaccine within the last 10 years. Without this document, you can be fined, deported, or vaccinated on the spot.
