Last reviewed:
Republic of Angola
Angola publishes its foreigner legal framework and migration fee decrees through the Servico de Migracao e Estrangeiros (SME), and the SME portal now directs foreign users to register to request and monitor visa services. The route set is intentionally conservative: it maps the official visa and resident-card categories named by SME public services and fee decrees, while asking applicants to confirm detailed checklists through SME or the competent Angolan mission because some service detail sits behind the account flow.

Republic of Djibouti
Djibouti publishes a public eGov foreigners section for eVisa, foreign identity-card guidance and ANEFIP work-authorisation services, plus an official eVisa platform for online visitor filings and visa-extension signposting. The route set covers tourism, business and transit eVisa, traditional work or study visa signposting, work authorisation, work-authorisation renewal, visa extension and foreign identity-card guidance. Public fee and duration tables are limited, so applicants should confirm charges and validity inside the official portal or with the competent mission before payment or travel.
