Short-Stay Visa

The Short-Stay Visa, or Visto de Curta Duração, is a specialized entry permit granted to foreign citizens who need to enter Angola on an urgent basis. This visa is designed for situations that require immediate, short-term presence in the country, such as urgent business meetings, emergency technical assistance, or other time-sensitive matters. Because it is intended for brief visits, the duration of stay is strictly limited, and the visa does not permit the holder to establish legal residence or engage in long-term remunerated employment. It serves as a vital tool for professionals and individuals who must address pressing needs in Angola quickly and efficiently.

The cost for a Short-Stay Visa typically ranges from $130 to $412, with the final fee determined by the applicant's nationality, the processing speed requested, and the specific type of short-term activity. Applicants must hold a passport valid for at least six months that contains at least two blank pages for entry and exit stamps. A critical requirement is proving the means of subsistence, which is often set at approximately $200 per day of the intended stay to ensure the visitor can support themselves. Applicants should also be prepared to provide documentation explaining the urgency of their visit, such as an invitation letter from an Angolan entity.
