The resolution is contained in Presidential Decree Number 189/23 dated 29 September 2023. President Joao Lourenco also directed foreign affairs ministry to communicate to the beneficiary countries about the exemption from tourist visas. The 90-day visa-free stay is however granted to people arriving in the country exclusively for tourism purposes.
It comes as the southern African country opens its borders to visitors from a large number of countries to boost its tourism sector.
Fourteen African nations are on the list for the visa-free entry. They include Tanzania, Eswatini, Morocco, Lesotho, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Equatorial Guinea, Botswana, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Seychelles, Cape Verde and Algeria.
Since December 2017, South Africans have not needed visas to visit Angola when an abolition agreement was signed between both nations.
