Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Angola visa requirements

Taiwan ordinary passport holders need a tourist eVisa (pre-visa) to enter Angola. Taiwan is NOT on Angola's 98-country visa-free list (Presidential Decree 189/23). Apply online before travel via the official SME portal at smevisa.gov.ao; the final visa is granted on arrival. Angola opened visa-free tourist entry to citizens of 98 countries in 2023 under Presidential Decree No. 189/23 (29 September 2023), but Taiwan is not among them. Taiwanese ordinary passport holders must therefore obtain a tourist visa before travelling. Angola's standard channel is the online pre-visa (eVisa) issued by the Migration and Foreigners Service (SME) at smevisa.gov.ao: the traveller applies online, receives an approval/authorisation by email, and presents it on arrival, where the final tourist visa sticker is issued and the government fee is collected. The tourist visa permits stays of up to 30 days per entry (extendable once for a further 30 days inside Angola). A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry to Angola, and the passport must be valid with at least two blank pages. Because no visa-free or pure visa-on-arrival channel exists for Taiwan, and sources are consistent, the verdict is eVisa. Travellers should rely only on the official SME government portal and avoid third-party agency sites that add service fees.
