Do Angolan citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Angolan citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for any stay in Vietnam, and the e-visa is the usual route.
Angola's row on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exemption list (published June 30, 2025, checked October 2026) is marked under Diplomatic and under Official/Service/Special, with a 30-day stay. The Ordinary column is empty, and Angola is absent from the later 45-day lists.
One lookup site says Angolans can stay 90 days without a visa; the Ministry's table shows no exemption for an ordinary passport. For the general rules, see Do I need a visa for Vietnam?

Vietnam visa for Angolan citizens: urgent cut-offs in Luanda time
Standard takes 5 to 7 working days. The urgent speeds use Vietnamese working days, which start at 8:00 in Vietnam, or 2:00 in Luanda.
| Order cut-off | Luanda time |
|---|---|
| Same day (Vietnam 14:15) | 8:15 |
| Super Urgent (Vietnam 15:30) | 9:30 |
| Emergency (Vietnam 17:30) | 11:30 |
| 1 working day (Vietnam 18:00) | 12:00 |
Example: you order on Tuesday at 3:00 in Luanda, which is 9:00 on Tuesday in Vietnam. Emergency arrives by 4:30, Super Urgent by 5:30 and Same day by 12:00, all in Luanda time. Ordered on Tuesday at 10:00 instead (16:00 in Vietnam), Emergency still arrives by 11:30, but Super Urgent and Same day have passed their cut-offs: Super Urgent arrives on Wednesday at 5:00 and Same day on Wednesday at 8:00.
The weekend window starts at Friday 12:00 in Luanda and ends on Sunday at 10:00. In that window, order the Weekend and public holidays speed before 9:20 and it arrives by 12:30 the same day. Our urgent e-visa page has every speed in Vietnam time.

Visa on arrival for Angolan citizens
Angolan citizens can use visa on arrival only when flying into Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang or Cam Ranh. You need an approval letter before you board and pay a $25 or $50 stamping fee at the airport.
It does not work for cruise ports or land borders. For most trips the e-visa is simpler; you can compare both when you choose a service.

You do not need an embassy for an e-visa, which is issued online. Our page on the Vietnam embassy in Angola has its address and contacts if you need consular help.
Tips for Angolan travelers
Two points help Angolan travelers: the diplomatic row, and paying from Angola.
Diplomatic and service passports are different
The 30-day stay on Angola's row of the exemption list belongs to diplomatic and service passports only. A holder of an ordinary Angolan passport needs the e-visa, even if a colleague on a government mission enters without one.
Check your card before you order
The e-visa is paid by card in US dollars, with us or on evisa.gov.vn. Some banks in Angola limit online payments in foreign currency, so ask yours to enable international card payments first, or use a card issued abroad.
eVisaVietnam.com is a private visa service operated by TK VIET NAM., JSC, not the Vietnamese government. You can apply yourself at evisa.gov.vn for US$25. If you want your files checked and a delivery time backed by a full refund, apply for your e-visa with us.
