Discover visa requirements for your trip
South Sudanese nationals need a visa for Angola and should normally obtain an e-Visa online before departure.
South Sudan holds no visa-waiver arrangement with Angola, so South Sudanese travellers arrange their trip through the online portal of Angola's Migration and Foreigners Service (SME) before flying to Luanda. A few entry points may issue a visa on arrival, but it is not something to rely on.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. A South Sudanese citizen travelling to Angola must hold a valid visa, usually an e-Visa applied for in advance. The passport should stay valid for at least six months from entry. Because both South Sudan and Angola sit in a yellow-fever zone, a vaccination certificate is frequently required — confirm this with the official source.
How and where to apply
Applications are filed online on the SME portal (sme.gov.ao). As there may be no Angolan mission in Juba, the e-Visa is the most dependable route; otherwise contact the Angolan embassy accredited to your region. Open your file, upload the requested documents and wait for approval before you travel.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for six months, a recent ID photo, proof of accommodation or an invitation, a return ticket and evidence of funds. The exact fee is not confirmed here: check the official amount displayed on the SME portal when you apply.
Processing and tips
Processing time is not guaranteed, so submit several weeks before departure. Make sure the name and passport number you enter match your document exactly. Print the authorisation and keep a digital copy to show on arrival.
Common mistakes
Do not travel assuming a visa on arrival is guaranteed — the default remains a prior e-Visa. Do not forget the yellow-fever vaccination card, often checked at entry. And never present a passport with less than six months of validity.
