Overview
Angola SME presents Travel Visa as a public service on its official portal and publishes the foreigner-law framework and migration-fee decrees through its legislation page. The consular fee decree lists Visto de Turismo and Visto Ordinario at USD 70, while the migration-act fee decree lists domestic tourism visa and tourism-extension fees. Because detailed public checklists may sit inside the SME account flow, travellers should use this route as the short-stay category map and confirm the exact tourist, ordinary or business-visit evidence with SME or the relevant Angolan mission before travel.
