Investor Visa (Visto Privilegiado)

The Investor Visa (Visto Privilegiado) is a specialized category granted to foreign investors, company representatives, or attorneys acting on behalf of an investing entity. Its primary purpose is to allow the holder to enter Angola to implement and carry out an approved private investment proposal in accordance with the country's Private Investment Law. This visa is essential for those whose business activities require a physical presence in the country to manage, oversee, or execute significant financial or commercial projects that have been formally registered with the relevant Angolan authorities.

To obtain this visa, applicants must provide an approved investment proposal and a Certificate of Private Investment Registration (CRIP) issued by the National Agency for Private Investment (ANIP). Additional requirements include proof of capital importation, a valid power of attorney for representatives, and documentation certifying the applicant's financial stability. The visa allows for multiple entries and a stay of up to two years, which is renewable for equal periods. Fees for this visa vary by consulate, and applicants should contact their local Angolan diplomatic mission to confirm the exact costs and specific documentation needed for their investment type.
