Angola-South Africa entry VISA free exemption a big boost for tourism, trade & investment in the Cape
Wesgro, Cape Town and the Western Cape’s official Tourism, Trade and Investment Promotion Agency, warmly welcomes the decision by the South African and Angolan governments to exempt each other’s ordinary passports from visa requirements.
We understand that, as of 1 December 2017, citizens of Angola and South Africa travelling to each other’s countries will be able to enter for a period of 90 days per annum, provided that each visit does not exceed 30 days in total.
This development will have a positive effect on business and leisure tourism. It will also open the door for future trade and foreign direct investment.
Cape Town Air Access, a partnership between Wesgro, the Western Cape Government, the City of Cape Town, Airports Company South Africa, South African Tourism and Cape Town Tourism, helped secure direct flights from Luanda and Cape Town on TAAG Airlines. The airline currently flies to Cape Town three times a week on a Boeing 777-300. This service will be increased to daily this summer from 1 December 2017 until 15 January 2018.
