Discover visa requirements for your trip
North Korean nationals need a visa to travel to Angola. The standard route is to apply for an electronic visa (e-Visa) online before departure.
North Korea has no visa exemption for Angola, so prior authorisation is essential, even for a short stay. The official e-Visa portal lets North Korean travellers build their application online without depending on a nearby Angolan consulate. Carry a passport valid for at least six months and file your request well ahead of time.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A North Korean citizen needs a visa to enter Angola, including for a short tourist or business stay. No exemption applies to North Korea: the authorisation must be obtained before arrival. The e-Visa is the standard option; a visa on arrival exists at some entry points but is not guaranteed.
How and where to apply
Applications are lodged online through the official portal of Angola's Migration and Foreigners Service (SME). The North Korean traveller opens a file, uploads supporting documents and pays the fee electronically, avoiding the need to track down an Angolan mission in the region. Check on the portal which visa category matches your reason for travel.
Documents and fees
Prepare a North Korean passport valid for at least six months, a compliant passport photo, proof of accommodation or a letter of invitation, a return ticket and, as a rule, a yellow-fever vaccination certificate required to enter Angola. The fee is not set here: the official portal shows the current amount before payment.
Processing and tips
Because processing time is not guaranteed, submit the application well before your departure date and watch your messages for any extra documents. Print the approved e-Visa and show it at boarding and on arrival. Plan for the health check too, as yellow fever is frequently verified when entering Angola.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not rely on a visa on arrival, which is not assured at every border post. Do not forget the yellow-fever certificate, which is often checked. Finally, make sure the form details match the passport exactly and that it remains valid for more than six months.
