Overview
The SME legislation page publishes the foreigner legal framework and fee decrees, and the official consular fee decree lists Visto de Privilegiado at USD 250. The migration-act fee decree also lists privileged-visa and privileged-visa extension fee lines. The reviewed public pages do not expose a complete privileged-visa checklist outside the account/legal source set, so applicants should not treat the fee line as proof that a particular investment or business plan qualifies. Use the SME portal and any competent Angolan investment or migration authority guidance to confirm the project basis before filing.
