Visa & Entry

Ethiopian passport holders need a visa to enter Angola. The easiest option is the Angola eVisa (pre-travel visa), which can be applied for online at the SME portal (smevisa.gov.ao). The tourist eVisa costs USD 120 for a 30-day single-entry stay. Processing takes 3 to 10 business days. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months with at least 3 blank pages.

Required documents for the eVisa: a completed online application, passport scan, recent passport photo (white background), yellow fever vaccination certificate, return flight booking, hotel reservation or invitation letter, and proof of financial means (bank statement showing at least USD 200 per day of stay). The yellow fever certificate is mandatory. Angola will deny boarding or entry without it.

Angola previously had one of the hardest visa processes in Africa, but the eVisa system introduced in 2018 simplified things significantly. Visa on arrival is available for some nationalities but not for Ethiopian passport holders. Apply well in advance because processing times can stretch beyond the stated window. The Angolan kwanza is the local currency. US dollars are useful as backup but most transactions are in kwanza. ATMs in Luanda work with international cards but charge high fees.
