Our guide to the Angola visa from Kenya
Kenyan nationals need a visa to travel to Angola. The simplest route is an electronic visa (e-Visa) applied for online before departure.
Although Kenya and Angola are both African, Kenya is not part of the visa-exempt SADC bloc, so authorisation is required before you travel. The official e-Visa portal lets Kenyan travellers apply from Nairobi without having to work through a consulate. Keep a passport valid for at least six months and start your application in good time.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. As a Kenyan citizen you need a visa to enter Angola, including for a short tourist or business stay. Kenya has no bilateral exemption, so the authorisation must be obtained before arrival. The e-Visa is the standard route.
How much does an e-visa for Angola cost from Kenya?
The official fee for an e-visa for Angola is not published in a source we can verify. Check the amount on the official portal before paying anything, third-party sites often add service fees on top.
What does a visa for Angola really cost?
The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.
- Government feeNot published in a source we can verify
Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.
- Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top
Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.
We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.
What documents are required for an e-visa for Angola?
The exact list for Angola is not published in a source we can verify. Every short-stay tourist application is nonetheless built on the same core:
- Valid passport
- Completed application form
- Compliant passport photo
- Proof of accommodation
- Return or onward ticket
- Proof of sufficient funds
Treat this as the common core, not the official list, confirm it with the consular authorities of Angola before you apply.
Documents and fees
Prepare a Kenyan passport valid for at least six months, a compliant passport photo, proof of accommodation or an invitation and a return ticket. Because Kenya is a yellow-fever risk country, the vaccination certificate is especially likely to be required on entry to Angola. The exact fee is not set here: it is shown on the official portal before payment.
How to apply for an e-visa for Angola from Kenya
- 1Fill in the form on the destination’s official portal.
- 2Upload the required documents (passport, photo, supporting papers).
- 3Pay the fee online by card.
- 4Receive the authorisation by email, usually without a consular visit.
- 5Show the authorisation, printed or on your phone, at boarding.
How and where to apply
Applications are made online through the official portal of Angola's Migration and Foreigners Service (SME). From Kenya you open a file, upload your documents and pay the fee electronically, with no counter visit required. Check on the portal which visa category matches your trip and any service provider linked to processing applications.
Where do you apply for a visa for Angola from Kenya?
An e-visa for Angola is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.
- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.
- Lookalike sites copy the portal’s name and layout, then resell the same application with a margin. Check the domain before you type in a passport number.
- The authorisation arrives by email. Keep a printed copy, some airlines ask for it at boarding.
You live in Kenya on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Kenya 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, submit your application well before your departure date and watch your inbox for any additional documents. Print the approved e-Visa and present it at boarding and on arrival. Carry your international vaccination booklet, as yellow fever is frequently checked when entering Angola.
Before you fly, and at the border
- Passport validity: most countries require the passport to stay valid beyond the return date, and the margin required differs from one destination to the next. Check it on the official source, and count from your return, not from your departure.
- A visa is not a right of entry. The border officer decides, and may ask for a return ticket, an address or proof of funds even when everything is in order.
- Conditional exemptions exist: several countries waive the visa for holders of a valid visa or residence permit from a third country. This depends on the destination and on the document, and we do not publish that rule when our sources do not carry it. The official page does.
- Minors travelling alone or with one parent are often asked for extra papers, typically a parental authorisation and the family record. Ask the post before booking.
- Overstaying is not a formality. It exposes you to a fine, to removal, and to an entry ban that can outlast the trip by years, including for the whole area when the destination belongs to one.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not count on a visa on arrival. Do not forget the yellow-fever certificate, which is often checked on flights from Kenya. Finally, make sure the details entered match the passport exactly and that it stays valid for more than six months.
