ANGOLA - LEGALIZATION SLOWING

The Angolan Embassy still legalized Canadian documents for use in Angola, but their processing speed has dropped to over a month.

Yes, that's right, it takes the Embassy of Angola over thirty days to put a single stamp on the back of a document which was already stamped by the Canadian government. To put this in perspective, most embassies can do this while you wait. It takes less than 20 minutes for most consulates to deal with a legalization.

Making it more difficult is the fact that the Angolan Embassy needs proof of the need for the legalization from your sponsoring company in Angola. Your company in Luanda must provide a letter in Portuguese, stating the requirement for the document.
