Overview

For religious institution missions, scientific research, family reunification with visa or residence permit holders, spouses of Angolan citizens, and humanitarian protection, valid up to 365 days.

The Temporary Stay Visa (Visto de Permanência Temporária) is designed for foreign nationals who need to enter Angola for specific, non-permanent purposes. This category covers a range of activities, including missions on behalf of religious institutions, scientific research projects, and humanitarian efforts. It is also available for individuals seeking family reunification, such as those accompanying a relative who holds a valid work, study, or privileged visa, or for the spouse of an Angolan citizen. This visa facilitates legal entry for those whose presence in the country is tied to a specific, time-bound objective.

Applicants for this visa must meet several administrative requirements, including providing a valid passport, proof of accommodation, and evidence of sufficient means of subsistence for the duration of their stay. A medical certificate, often including an HIV test, and a criminal record certificate from the country of origin are typically required. The visa generally allows for multiple entries and a stay of up to 365 days, which may be extended depending on the underlying reason for the stay. The associated fee is approximately USD 100, and applicants must ensure they have comprehensive health insurance coverage.
