South Korea to Angola visa requirements

South Korean ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit Angola for tourism. They may enter visa-free for up to 30 days per trip, capped at 90 days total within any single calendar year. As of mid-2026, holders of an ordinary South Korean passport can travel to Angola for tourism without any visa. This is the result of Angola's tourist visa exemption regime introduced under Presidential Decree No. 189/23 (effective 2023), which grants visa-free entry to nationals of roughly 98 countries, including South Korea. Travelers may stay up to 30 days per entry, with a cumulative maximum of 90 days per calendar year (sources also describe this as up to three short visits per year). No advance application, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival pre-authorization is required for a qualifying tourist visit. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months on entry and contain at least 2 blank pages. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry into Angola and must be administered at least 10 days before arrival. Stays beyond 30 days, or travel for non-tourism purposes (work, residence, study), require an appropriate visa obtained in advance. Travelers should verify the latest rules with the Angolan Embassy/Consulate before departure, as the exemption is administered by Angola's immigration service (SME).
