Rule changes note —Angola has moved public visa interaction into the SME transactional portal. The public site names visa and resident-card services and publishes the immigration legal framework and fee decrees, but some detailed checklists sit behind account/login pages and the law PDFs are image-scanned. Treat the route pages here as a category map and source-backed filing checklist, then confirm current documentary requirements through SME or the competent Angolan mission before filing.
OverviewSourcesEligibilityPathwayApplyFAQ

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.

ℹ️ Who can apply?

You do not need a job offer or employer to apply for the Medical Treatment Visa. This route does not lead to permanent residence. Open to qualifying applicants from all countries.
