Overview: Angola does not offer a specific retirement visa category. Foreigners seeking long-term residence for retirement may explore other long-stay visas, such as the Investor Visa or a General Residence Visa, subject to stringent and complex criteria.
Eligibility: No dedicated retirement visa exists. Long-term stay requires significant investment, strong family ties, or a general residence permit with proof of substantial independent means and a compelling justification, which is typically challenging to obtain without a specific purpose.
