Chadian nationals need a visa to travel to Angola. Angola issues an electronic visa (e-Visa) you apply for online before you leave.
Travelling from Chad to Angola for tourism, business or a family visit? From N'Djamena, the simplest route is Angola's e-Visa, obtained on the official Migration and Foreigners Service (SME) portal before you board. This guide covers the essentials; always confirm fees and validity on the official source.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Chadian passport holders are not visa-exempt and must obtain a visa before entering Angola. Angola offers an online e-Visa; a visa on arrival may exist at some entry points, but don't rely on it — apply in advance.
How and where to apply
The application is completed entirely online on Angola's official e-Visa portal, with no need to visit an embassy in person. That is valuable from Chad, where Angolan consular presence across the Sahel region is limited. Create an account, fill in the form and upload the required documents.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, a compliant passport photo, a return ticket, proof of accommodation and, depending on your purpose, an invitation or mission letter. Angola frequently requires a yellow-fever vaccination certificate, which should not be overlooked when leaving Chad. The fee is not fixed here — check the amount shown on the official portal when you apply.
Processing and tips
Processing time varies, so submit your application several weeks before departure to absorb any delay. Pay the fee online when the portal asks and keep the confirmation email. Print the e-Visa approval and present it with your passport on arrival in Luanda.
Common mistakes
Refusals often stem from a passport too close to expiry, a name that doesn't match the passport, or a missing yellow-fever certificate. Double-check every field before submitting, and avoid buying non-refundable tickets until your e-Visa is approved.
