Angola has introduced a multiple-entry visa that is valid for three months.

Previously, travellers were only able to apply for a single-entry visa, which was valid for only 30 days. The multiple-entry visa is far more cost-effective for travellers, says HRG Rennies Travel National Executive Client Services Manager, Jose Cruz, as it costs the same – R750 (€41) – as the standard visa.

Some business travellers visit Angola as often as three times a month, he says. “Before this visa was introduced, they would’ve essentially had to apply for a visa 12 times a year.”

Travellers with a multiple-entry visa are only allowed to stay in the country for 30 days at a time. The visas take about seven working days to be issued and the phrase ‘multiple-entry visa’ must be included in the letter of invitation from the receiving company in Angola, advises Top Chela Traders, a visa application service in Cape Town that specialises in Angolan visas.
