Under the Act’s general entry requirements, a foreign national must hold a passport or other international travel document valid in Angola for more than 6 months, a current visa suited to the purpose of the trip, means of subsistence under Article 19 (which may be waived for those who prove that food and accommodation are assured during the stay), and an international vaccination certificate, and must not be subject to an entry ban.
