## Evidence timeline

- **September 29, 2023 — Ordinary passports: Angola pre-authorised tourist visa affixed at frontier** (Visa on arrival)
  Decree 189/23 Article 4 establishes a broad tourist-visa route: the traveller applies through SME, receives electronic pre-authorisation and presents it at the frontier, where the visa is physically affixed to the travel document. Under the issuance-point taxonomy this is visa_on_arrival, not evisa. The cohort excludes current unverified document-recognition/operational cases and preserved-treaty conflicts.
  - Ordinary passport short tourist visits only; not work, study, medical treatment, residence, transit, diplomatic, official/service, emergency or special-document cases.
  - Apply through the official SME channel before travel, obtain the electronic pre-authorisation, present it at the frontier, and receive the visa affixed in the travel document after confirmation.
  - Passport validity must exceed six months; round-trip ticket and an international vaccination certificate are required where applicable.
  - The decision period is no more than three working days. Border admission remains subject to confirmation and other applicable formalities.
  - An alternative simplified consular tourist-visa procedure exists; it does not change the available online-preauthorisation/frontier-issuance route.
  - Article 3(3) preserves treaty and agreement commitments. This policy therefore excludes São Tomé and Príncipe and Zambia while their bilateral ordinary-passport baseline remains unresolved.
