Angola and Portugal approved, through Presidential Decree No. 240/21, a bilateral protocol to facilitate national visas, in common or ordinary passports, for youth mobility, health, and work reasons.

The two countries intend to facilitate the granting of long-term visas for academic, cultural, sporting, scientific, and technological purposes, as well as citizens seeking medical treatment and their companions, and they are valid for multiple entries, long-term, extendable, for the purpose that determined their grant. Under the Protocol, visas must be granted by the Signatories within a maximum of eight days from the date of application.

In addition, this protocol also includes long-stay work visas that are valid for multiple entries, in a period of thirty-six months, allowing the holder a continuous stay for periods of twelve to thirty-six months, extendable, for the purpose that determined its grant. According to the Protocol, this visa must be granted by the Signatories, within a maximum of thirty working days from the date of the application.
