ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS: A passport and visa,
which must be obtained in advance, along with an International Certificate
of Vaccination, are required. Persons arriving without visas are subject to

at least one completely blank page in their passports for entry and exit
stamps. Travelers whose international immunization cards do not show
inoculations against yellow fever within the past ten years may be subject
to exclusion, on-the-spot vaccination, and heavy fines. Visitors remaining
in Angola beyond their authorized visa duration are subject to fines and
arrest. It is illegal to attempt to carry local currency out of Angola and
it is subject to confiscation by customs officers. Current information on

MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Adequate
medical facilities are rare except in Luanda, where there are some good
private clinics that usually have a 24-hour service provided by a general
practice physician and with specialists on call. The U.S. Embassy in Luanda
can provide a list of such facilities. Routine operations such as
appendectomies can be performed. However, many types of medicine are not
readily available; travelers are urged to carry with them properly labeled
supplies of any medications they routinely require. Malaria is endemic in
most areas of Angola.
An outbreak of Marburg hemorrhagic fever, a severe and often fatal
disease, occurred in Uige province beginning in the spring of 2005; however,
on November 7, 2005, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Angola and
the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Marburg outbreak in Angola
ended. This announcement came after 45 consecutive days without a new case
of the illness.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe
food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s hotline for international
travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747)
