Can I go? Entry and visas
From GOV.UK, for United Kingdom passports, updated 28 May 2026:
You do not need a visa to visit Angola for up to 30 days, if visiting for tourism.
If travelling for work, study or business, you must get a visa in advance. If you do not have a visa, or if you have the wrong visa, you may be stopped from boarding or detained at the airport on arrival. Angola’s deportation process can take a long time.
You can be fined 15,000 Angolan kwanzas a day if you overstay your visa. You may not be allowed to leave the country until your fine has been paid. You may also not be allowed to re-enter Angola.
The Angolan authorities can fine you for visa offences, including:
working, studying or living in Angola without the correct visa
Passport validity
Your passport must have an ‘expiry date’ at least 6 months after the date you arrive in Angola and have at least 2 blank pages.
Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.
You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.
