Considering the spread of the epidemic, hygiene conditions, and medical conditions in Angola, the embassy recommends that Chinese citizens follow the relevant recommendations of the Chinese epidemic prevention department to receive the corresponding vaccines and carry an international vaccination certificate (commonly known as a "small yellow book") before coming to Angola.

Residency and Naturalization

1、 Nationality Policy

The Angolan Nationality Law stipulates that if one parent holds Angolan nationality, their child, regardless of whether they were born in Angola or not, holds Angolan nationality; Newborns registered within the territory of An, regardless of their parents' nationality, can be presumed to have obtained An nationality.

Please continue to pay attention.

public security

In recent years, the overall political situation in Angola has been stable, with good social control. However, the economic situation has continued to decline, the unemployment rate is high, and after years of civil war, firearms are still scattered among the public. The quality of the Angolan law enforcement team is uneven, and the overall crime detection rate is low. Therefore, the overall security situation is relatively complex. There are separatist forces in Cabinda province, which have been clearly controlled in recent years.

Security crime cases occur from time to time, with the main types of crimes including burglary, robbery, armed robbery, and even murder. The criminals' targets mainly include valuable items such as cash, computers, and mobile phones, as well as vehicles and engineering equipment. In general, the safety risks are relatively high at night, before and after holidays, and in places where foreigners live in Luanda Province.

Enterprises and citizens in China need to remain vigilant about the security situation, pay attention to changes in the social security situation in all provinces, especially in their respective locations, maintain a sense of security prevention at all times, be the first responsible person for their own safety, and take necessary preventive measures to properly respond to security risks

1、 Continuously implement necessary security measures such as monitoring and security to prevent property theft and personal attacks at office locations and residences.

2、 Properly keep important documents, make copies of passports, visas, and residence permits, carry them for future reference when going out, or keep them as backup in case of loss. Do not easily hand over important documents such as passports to others or use them as collateral.

3、 Do not show off wealth, avoid wearing expensive jewelry or watches, and be careful not to have your phone stolen. Try to use bank cards, avoid depositing, carrying or using large amounts of cash, and be more careful in banks, restaurants, supermarkets or places where foreigners are concentrated.

4、 Try to travel with as many people as possible and pay attention to the vehicles and people around you. Avoid walking alone, especially to remote and unfamiliar places. It is not recommended to travel at night.

5、 When driving or parking, ensure that the doors and windows are closed and locked, and do not leave valuable items inside the car.

6、 Do not trust others easily, prevent illegal elements from colluding and tracking inside and outside, and engage in criminal activities. Be alert to strangers selling items, gesturing for you to stop, etc., to avoid falling into theft traps.

7、 Try to avoid going to crowded places, do not participate in or watch demonstrations and other gatherings. Be alert to the possibility of group activities escalating into violent conflicts and follow local government guidelines.

8、 Maintain continuous contact with work units, family and friends, inform them of the itinerary, report safety in a timely manner, and seek their help when needed.

9、 In any case, the safety of personnel should be given top priority.

When questioned, searched, or arrested by law enforcement personnel such as police, one should respond rationally and calmly, and protect their legitimate rights and interests in accordance with the law and correctly. For specific suggestions, pleaseclick here.

natural disaster

Angola is located in southwestern Africa, with most of the northern region having a tropical grassland climate, the southern region having a subtropical climate, and high-altitude areas having a temperate climate. The rainy season lasts from October to April of the following year, with an average temperature of 33 degrees Celsius; The dry season is from May to September, with an average temperature of 24 degrees Celsius. The average annual precipitation is about 400 millimeters, gradually decreasing from a maximum of 1500 millimeters in the Northeast Plateau region to 50 millimeters in the Southwest Desert region.

Angola is mainly composed of plains, hills, and plateaus. The western coastal areas have low terrain, while the eastern inland areas have higher terrain. The country is densely populated with rivers and has abundant hydraulic resources. There are about 30 major rivers, including the Congo River, the Cunene River, the Kuanza River, and the Kubango River.

The main natural disasters in Angola include floods, mudslides, lightning strikes, and droughts. Due to weak infrastructure such as roads and flood discharge, heavy rainfall during the rainy season can easily lead to disasters such as floods, waterlogging, and mudslides, resulting in infrastructure damage, communication interruptions, property losses, or casualties. Lightning can also easily cause death or fire. During the dry season, southern provinces are prone to drought, leading to poor agricultural harvests and even famine.

It is recommended that Chinese enterprises and citizens take measures such as installing lightning protection facilities and dredging drainage systems to prevent flood disasters; Pay attention to meteorological information and try to avoid going out on rainy days, including driving; If it is necessary to go out, try to avoid flooded roads, stay away from high-voltage transmission towers, transformers, distribution facilities, and various suspected electrified devices; Avoid driving into unknown bodies of water or crossing rivers through water to prevent being submerged or washed away; After a flood, it is necessary to promptly remove accumulated water and debris, ventilate and dry, and spray disinfectant if necessary to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes and flies and the spread of infectious diseases.

FDA

The sanitation conditions in Angola are poor, and the urban water supply system is not widespread. The vast majority of areas rely on water trucks for transportation and supply of water; Large cities generally lack underground drainage systems; Although there is garbage collection and transportation in the city, there are still situations of untimely cleaning and a large number of hygiene blind spots; The health status of ordinary people depends on their own economic conditions.

Tap water is usually only used for general toiletries and cannot be consumed directly. It is also not recommended to boil it before drinking. Bottled water or water that has been disinfected, purified, and tested to meet standards is recommended for drinking and cooking.

Flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and other insects reproduce quickly and are prone to contaminating food. Try to avoid consuming raw and cold food, leftover food from overnight, or expired, moldy, and spoiled food as much as possible.

Star rated hotels, large-scale Portuguese restaurants, and Chinese restaurants usually have better hygiene conditions. Street vendors, low-end bars, fast food restaurants, and food stalls may have inadequate supervision over the health status, hygiene standards, and water source quality of their employees. It is recommended to avoid eating at will as much as possible to prevent diarrhea, vomiting, and even infection with diseases such as typhoid fever, malaria, and cholera.

Urgent Help

1、 Angola Public Security Integrated Center: 111

The Angola Public Safety Integration Platform is a technical platform used by the Angolan National Police, Fire Department, and Emergency Medical Services to maintain public order and handle emergency incidents. It implements multi number integration, and emergency situations can call this hotline to obtain corresponding police, fire, and medical services. But in reality, there may be busy lines or delays, and the existing fire alarm (115) hotline is still in use.

2、 Embassy

（1） Consular Protection Emergency Hotline: 00244-927 769 854 (limited to Chinese citizens in emergency situations where their life and property rights are infringed upon);

（2） Document consultation: It is recommended to prioritize using email: luanda@csm.mfa.gov.cn ; Phone: 00244-226 761000;

（3） Police team phone number: 00244-226 450 167.

It is recommended to visit the embassy before contacting themOfficial website of the embassyTo obtain the latest information.

3、 Angola Chinese Security Joint Conference

The Angolan Chinese Security Joint Committee (referred to as "Anlian Defense") is a non-profit security organization spontaneously formed by Chinese citizens in Angola to jointly address social security risks in Angola. It conducts daily security patrols in areas where Chinese citizens gather and responds in emergency situations to provide necessary assistance to Chinese enterprises or citizens. At present, there are liaison stations in Luanda Province, Benguela Province, Huambo Province, and Zaire Province.

air traffic

At present, there are no direct flights between China and Angola. Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines, Türkiye Airlines, Air France, Lufthansa, Qatar Airlines and other airlines have opened flights from Luanda to major cities in China via third countries.

Most provincial capitals in Angola have airports, and Luanda International Airport, which can accommodate large passenger planes on February 4th, is currently the main passenger airport. The Rodanetu International Airport will depart in November 2024 and its cargo function has been officially put into use. It is expected that by the end of March 2025, all domestic and international flights from the International Airport will be relocated to the Naitu International Airport on February 4th.

AnHang is the main airline in Angola and a member of the International Civil Aviation Organization. However, the aircraft it operates are generally outdated, with low airport management efficiency and frequent flight delays.

Luanda has direct flights to major cities within Angola and important shipping hub cities in neighboring countries, mainly operated by Anhui Airlines and relevant national airlines.

land transport

Angola's transportation is mainly based on road transportation, with a total length of 77000 kilometers, including 20000 kilometers of asphalt road surface and the remaining 57000 kilometers of gravel road surface. The total length of the main line is 25000 kilometers. The road conditions of the main highways in the western coastal provinces are good, while the road conditions in the inland and eastern regions, as well as at the county and city levels, are poor.

Angola's vehicles are mainly second-hand and old vehicles, which are prone to malfunctions, lack of road signs, shared use between people and vehicles, and pedestrians crossing roads. There are few long-distance bus routes and the vehicles are old, so it is not recommended to take them. Personal self driving car rental services are scarce and expensive, and it is not recommended for individuals to travel by self driving in the short term.

Traffic accidents are the second leading cause of death in Angola. According to the latest data from the government of An, from January 2023 to December 2023, there were over 14000 road traffic accidents in the country, resulting in more than 3100 deaths and nearly 18000 injuries. In 2024, a total of 7 Chinese citizens died in traffic accidents in Anhui.

The total length of the An Railway is 2800 kilometers, with three main lines: Benguela, Namibe, and Luanda Malanje. The number of train operations is relatively small, with many stops and slower speeds.

Traffic safety is also a major safety risk faced by me as a citizen in Anhui. I would like to remind Chinese citizens in Anhui:

1、 Actively learn and strictly abide by traffic regulations, drive cautiously, and always pay attention to road conditions.

2、 Purchase comprehensive vehicle insurance, regularly inspect and maintain the vehicle to ensure good condition. Bring copies of your driver's license, passport, and visa for future reference. I have purchased medical insurance to ensure worry free coverage. We should also strengthen safety training and supervision for drivers.

3、 It is best to drive with two or more people, especially at night, on long trips, or to remote areas.

4、 Plan the driving route in advance, choose a familiar and safer route, and adjust the route in a timely manner if there are safety risks.

5、 Be careful of pedestrians and animals suddenly crossing the road, stop and give way in a timely manner. Long distance driving requires bringing your own supplies, fuel, and tires to ensure preparedness.

6、 Pedestrians should also pay attention to traffic safety when crossing the street, and be sure to follow the principle of "first look, second slow, and third pass".

7、 Roads, bridges, buildings, and rural areas outside of major towns may contain landmines and unexploded ordnance, and it is advisable to avoid driving away from ruts as much as possible.

8、 Properly handle road traffic accidents, place warning signs in accordance with regulations, and be careful not to cause secondary accidents due to prolonged stay on the road.

9、 Try to avoid riding or riding motorcycles or electric bicycles as much as possible. If necessary, wear a helmet and pay attention to the surrounding vehicles and pedestrians.

water communication

The total tonnage of the shipping fleet is over 100000 tons, and major ports such as Luanda, Lobito, Namibe, and Cabinda can all accommodate 10000 ton cargo ships. There are approximately 1300 kilometers of water transportation routes. The annual processing capacity of Luanda Port is 15 million tons, responsible for handling about 80% of the country's imported cargo volume. In 2020, the cargo throughput was 6.66 million tons. There are three interconnected passenger terminals in Angola, namely Luanda, Cabinda, and Soyo.

Urban transportation

The phenomenon of mixed traffic between people and vehicles is common in Angolan cities, and special attention should be paid to traffic safety. Residents mainly rely on self driving cars, motorcycles, etc. for transportation, while public transportation is mainly small vans (usually painted blue and white). It is not recommended to ride this type of transportation alone to prevent traffic accidents and theft.

In recent years, several private ride hailing companies have emerged in Anlu to provide commercial ride hailing services, such as UGO, YANGO, ALLO TAXI, HEETCH, etc. There are many local private car franchises, and the condition of the cars varies greatly. The order security and industry supervision are not yet perfect.

major city

Luanda, the capital of Angola, is located on the western coast of the Atlantic Ocean and is an important port as well as the political, cultural, economic, and transportation center of the country.

Huambo City: The capital of Huambo Province and a key town in the central region. Between 1928 and 1975, it was known as the 'New Lisbon'.

Cabinda City: The capital of Cabinda Province, an enclave in northern Ontario.

Lobito City: an important port city along the Atlantic coast of Angola, located in the province of Benguela. The Benguela Railway, which runs through the western part of Andong, starts from the city in the west. The Port of Lobito mainly undertakes the import and export business of ores and agricultural products.

Malanje City: the capital of Malanje Province, the economic and transportation hub of central Ontario, and the terminal station of the Luanda Malanje railway.

Commodity prices

The currency of Angola is the Kwanza, and major international currencies such as the US dollar and the euro can be exchanged for the Kwanza at Angolan commercial banks, exchange shops, and foreign-related hotels. International credit cards such as Visa and Mastercard can usually only be used in some high-end hotels and shops in the local area. Supermarkets, shopping malls, restaurants, etc. generally accept local MultiCaixa bank cards.

Self sufficient agriculture provides the main livelihood for the majority of the population in An. At present, the main crops in An include cassava, corn, beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans, bananas, coffee, rice, vegetables, and fruits.

The basic conditions for agriculture and animal husbandry in An are relatively good, but due to civil war and internal limitations, more than half of the grain still relies on imports, and prices are generally high.

Angola has abundant oil, natural gas, diamond resources, and hydropower potential, making it an important diamond producing and oil exporting country. Domestic oil prices are cheaper than international oil prices, but the quality of oil products is not high.

Insurance Medical

1、 Medical conditions

The basic medical conditions are weak, and the national coverage rate of medical and health services is 60%. The average life expectancy is 62 years.

An Public Hospital offers free medical care, but the waiting time is relatively long. Private hospitals have good equipment and medical technology, but their fees are expensive. Luanda Province has established Chinese funded hospitals such as Zhongtai Hospital and Huagu Hospital, which also provide medical services to the public.

An Hospital generally does not have a pharmacy, and patients can purchase drugs from outside pharmacies with a doctor's prescription. An mainly imports drugs produced in European countries such as Portugal, and has strict quality supervision.

2、 Common diseases

Angola is a high incidence area of tropical diseases. The main epidemic diseases include malaria, typhoid, cholera, dengue fever, tuberculosis, yellow fever, AIDS, leprosy, monkeypox, sleeping sickness, meningitis, chikungunya fever, rabies, schistosomiasis, etc

（1） Malaria, commonly known as "dandy", is a parasitic disease mainly transmitted through the bite of Anopheles mosquitoes. It is the disease with the highest incidence in incidence rate and the first cause of death in Angola. According to statistics, in 2022, over 9.21 million people in Anhui province were infected with malaria, with over 12000 deaths. Malaria is also the main cause of accidental death for my personnel in the hospital. As of the end of 2024, the embassy has received a total of 7 reports of malaria deaths. Malaria can be prevented and treated, and it is recommended that Chinese citizens strengthen their prevention and response measures.

（2） Typhimurium is a major public health threat caused by Salmonella. Typhimurium mainly occurs in areas where water quality has not been sterilized, human excrement has not been effectively controlled, and sanitation resources are limited. According to local media reports in Angola, from April to June 2024, a typhoid fever outbreak occurred in a community in Viana City, Luanda Province, resulting in over 40 deaths. According to Anfang statistics, in 2020, the number of people infected with typhoid fever in Quan'an was nearly 500000, with over 400 deaths, ranking fourth among infectious diseases, only behind malaria, influenza, and severe acute respiratory infections.

（3） Cholera is an acute diarrheal infection caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with Vibrio cholerae. From the end of 2016 to February 2017, there was an outbreak of cholera in An, with 252 suspected cases and 11 deaths. From the end of 2017 to January 2018, there was another outbreak of cholera in An, resulting in 6 deaths. In January 2025, a cholera outbreak occurred in the Luanda region of Angola, resulting in 22 deaths.

（4） Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease caused by monkeypox virus infection, characterized by fever, rash, and enlarged lymph nodes. The Ministry of Health confirmed Angola's first confirmed case of monkeypox in November 2024, with the number of confirmed cases increasing to 4 by the end of December and 16 suspected cases.

（5） AIDS. According to the data of the United Nations AIDS Programme, there are about 320000 people living with AIDS in Angola, and the HIV infection rate of adults aged 15-49 is about 1.5%.

In addition, from the end of 2015 to 2016, there was a large-scale outbreak of yellow fever in Anzeng, with 4599 confirmed cases and 384 deaths. In January 2017, An discovered three cases of Zika virus infection.

3、 Prevention and response

Health diseases are one of the main risks that Chinese citizens face in their daily lives. Chinese citizens in Anhui should pay attention to their own health, especially those with underlying diseases and the elderly and weak. In 2024, the Chinese Embassy in Angola received reports of 29 deaths due to illness from Chinese citizens in Angola, mainly including malaria, cerebral hemorrhage, cardiovascular disease, etc.

It is recommended that Chinese citizens receive vaccinations before coming to Anhui. Do not rely on your own strength. Those who are older and have underlying diseases, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, should persist in taking medication and carefully evaluate the risks of staying in Anjou. Don't take chances. Take corresponding measures according to your work and living environment to prevent malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, typhoid, cholera, AIDS and other infectious diseases. Don't be careless, you should continue to pay attention to your own health condition, undergo physical examinations, keep in touch with friends and family, truthfully report your safety, and listen to their opinions and suggestions. Do not shy away from seeking medical attention. If you experience physical discomfort, seek medical attention promptly. Do not self medicate or rely on waiting for time to "heal" and delay treatment for a serious illness.

4、 Commercial insurance

According to the official website of the Angola Insurance Regulatory Authority, there are more than 20 commercial insurance companies legally licensed to operate in Angola in 2024, including insurance companies registered by foreign capital such as Portugal, France, and the United States, as well as domestic capital operating institutions. Their main business covers various types of insurance such as accidents, health, medical, vehicle and vessel, property, and life insurance. At present, some locally registered commercial insurance institutions, including Portuguese loyalty insurance FIDELIDADE, provide Chinese language services to Chinese citizens in Angola.

The annual revenue and compensation amount of accident insurance, health insurance, travel insurance, and car insurance account for over 90% of the overall revenue and compensation of the industry, while life insurance accounts for less than 10%. The big data of insurance compensation reflects that Angola has prominent risks and hidden dangers in social security, road traffic, health and medical care all year round.

It is strongly recommended that Chinese citizens planning to stay in An for a short period of time purchase corresponding personal accident, medical critical illness, and emergency rescue insurance for overseas travel in China before departure; Chinese citizens who have been working and living in Anhui for a long time may consider purchasing corresponding commercial insurance in Anhui based on their own situation, effectively supplementing their personal and family emergency rescue and compensation capabilities to resist various risks and accidents. For more details, please refer to the official website of the China Insurance Regulatory Bureau or contact relevant insurance companies for consultation.

Traditional Chinese culture practices earth burial. Attending a funeral should wear black or dark clothing, and men should wear a dark tie. Inserting into a funeral procession while driving is considered disrespectful to the deceased. The number "13" is a taboo number.

3、 Travel information

Angola's tourism industry is based on the country's natural environment, including rivers, waterfalls, and coastlines. An is committed to developing the tourism industry, but is severely constrained by the impact of the civil war, especially the scattered and weak tourism facilities, inconvenient road transportation, insufficient hotels and restaurants, and poor sanitation conditions.

The tourist attractions available in Angola include the Kisama National Park in Luanda Province, the National Military Museum, the Netu Memorial Hall, the Coin Museum, the Slave Museum, the Musulu Resort Island, the Moon Valley Karst Landscape Scenic Area, the Kuanza River Estuary Scenic Area, the Ledo Cape Tourist Area, the Tongda Valla Rift in Vila Province, the Kalandula Tourist Area in Malange Province, the Okavango Tourist Area in Kuando Kubango Province, and the Camia National Park in Moxico Province.

Foreigners are not allowed to take photos in some scenic spots in An'an, or they need to pay additional fees. It is recommended to get oral knowledge and consent in advance. If it is necessary to photograph important buildings such as the Presidential Palace, military facilities, ports, fortresses, and historical sites, prior approval from the competent government department is required.

Communications Power

1、 Power supply

The power interface type for Angola hotel residential buildings is a German standard socket, which is a two-phase circular plug, with a standard voltage of 220V/50Hz. Domestic appliances can be directly used in An through adapters or power strips. Angola usually uses electricity for cooking, and the power supply is basically stable in major cities such as Luanda.

2、 Phone number

The country code for making calls to Angola is 00244. To make a call to Angola from within the country: 00244+region code+phone number or 00244+mobile phone number.
