Angolan visas – take note

THE Angolan embassy has
confirmed to TNW that its
visa application process
remains the same, whereby
applicants need to physically
visit the embassy to apply for
a visa.
This follows advisories
by some visa centres that
Angolan visas had to be
applied for and paid for
online, and a form submitted
with assisting documents
to one of the embassies
in either Johannesburg or
Pretoria. Thereafter, the
applicant would be called
in to take fingerprints on
collection.
MDS VisaPak national
business manager, Carla
Douglas, says she received
the information that
applicants needed to apply
online for a visa from one
of MDS’s representatives.
However, on inspection, it
appears that the website
operates independently from
the embassy and serves
as a visa facilitation service
rather than an official visa
application site.
