Germany visa for Angolan citizens

Germany’s tourist visa costs €90 at the standard rate published by its authorities; the official site for it is videx.diplo.de. Processing time, as Germany states it: Usually 15 days after the mission receives the file, up to 45 days in individual cases; any waiting time for an appointment comes on top. Longest stay on the tourist visa: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Germany has 1 mission in Angola, with its embassy in Luanda.

In 2025, Germany’s embassy and consulates in Angola (Luanda) received 3,141 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 1,865. The refusal rate was 40.0%. The refusal rate fell by 4.5 points from 44.5% in 2024. Applications fell by 14% compared with 2024 (3,641).

For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 45.4% of the applications lodged in Angola that year, from 28.2% at the consulates of Italy to 75.4% at those of Hungary. Germany’s consulates worldwide refused 13.1%. Germany was the 3rd most applied-for Schengen state in Angola.

You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in Angola, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.

For a trip from Angola to Germany, the published travel advice reads as follows: the US State Department rates Germany at Level 2, exercise increased caution (updated 12 May 2025) and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to Germany (updated 11 August 2026). The advice is aimed at each government’s own nationals.
