Correct path

Tourist, business or short-term visa?

A tourist visa is enough for holidays and visits up to 30 days. A business visa requires an invitation from an Angolan company. Short-term visa (STV) is for urgent trips with shorter stays. All visas require submission at the Angolan Embassy in Stockholm.
