Overview
SME publishes the Angola foreigner legal framework and fee decrees through its legislation page. The consular fee decree lists Visto de Estudo at USD 150, and the migration-act fee decree lists domestic study-visa and study-visa extension fee lines. The reviewed public source set does not expose a complete study checklist outside the official account/legal framework, so students should confirm the current admission, enrolment, support, accommodation and filing evidence through SME, the school and the competent Angolan mission before filing.
