What the Angola visa rules mean for Madagascar travellers
Madagascar citizens can enter Angola without a visa and stay for up to 30 days. You only need a valid Madagascar passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay.
