Overview
The SME legislation page publishes official fee decrees that list Visto de Tratamento Medico at USD 50 in the consular schedule, with domestic medical-treatment visa and extension fee lines in the migration-act schedule. The reviewed public pages do not expose a complete treatment checklist outside the account/legal source set, so applicants should confirm hospital, appointment, medical, support and companion evidence through SME, the Angolan mission and the treating institution before filing.
