Angolan Holidays

Every year around this time we get requests from the oil industry for the holiday closure dates of the Angolan Embassy in Ottawa.

The new holidays for this year have just be announced!

The Angolan Embassy will accept the last application of the year on Friday 12 December.

The embassy will issue the last visa of the year, then close for more than two weeks of holidays, on Friday 19 December 2014.

The Angolan Embassy will re-open on Monday 05 January 2015.

What this means is that there is almost zero chance of anything submitted now to be processed and have a visa issued this year. From now on any application will not see a visa until into January 2015.

Remember, the Angolan Embassy in Canada cannot make decisions on visa requests. All authorizations for visas are transmitted from Luanda, Angola, and simply administered at the embassy. This means that extra time is always required for communication with and decision by Luanda.
