Many Ghanaian travellers head to Angola for trade, business dealings or tourism, flying out of Accra. For them, Angola issues an electronic visa through its Migration and Foreigners Service (SME), requested online with no mandatory consulate visit. The process is prepared from Ghana before boarding.

Treat this as the common core, not the official list, confirm it with the consular authorities of Angola before you apply.

You live in Ghana on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Ghana but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

How long does an e-visa for Angola take?
No verified processing time is published for this route. Apply as early as your travel dates allow, and never book non-refundable travel before the e-visa is granted.
Processing and tips
Because processing time is not guaranteed, file your request several days before departure. A yellow-fever vaccination certificate is frequently required in the region, so verify this before travelling. Print the approved e-Visa and keep a digital copy.
