Why this verdict
Swiss citizens are encoded from Angola's official tourism-visa exemption framework for short tourism visits: up to 30 days per entry and up to 90 days per year. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short tourism/visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, medical treatment, non-tourist visits, diplomatic/service passports, airline checks, vaccination/health checks, overstay handling, border discretion and live SME portal eligibility can change the practical answer. Reconfirm with Angola SME, an Angolan mission or the official government source before booking.
Conditional rules
- Stay beyond 30 days per entry or beyond 90 days per year Visa required
The official exemption limit is up to 30 days per entry and up to 90 days per year for tourism. Longer stays need the appropriate Angolan visa or permission.
- Work, study, medical treatment, residence or other non-tourist purpose Visa required
Angola's official government notice says the exemption regime applies exclusively to tourism visas; other purposes must use the corresponding diplomatic mission or consular visa route.
- Passport validity is six months or less Visa required
The official government notice says the exemption does not remove other formalities, including a passport valid for more than six months.
- International vaccination certificate required for the itinerary Conditional
The official government notice says travellers may need to present an international vaccination certificate when necessary.
- Transit through Angola Conditional
No universal visa-free transit rule is encoded from the checked sources. Verify airside/landside transit with the airline, Angola SME and any Angolan mission before travel.
