Second, the introduction

Three. customs regulations

A)400 cigarettes, or 500 grams of tobacco leaves, or 500 grams of cigars;

Step 2 leave the country

Generally, you should go to the immigration office to apply for an exit visa, buy an exit visa application form, hand in photos and pay a handling fee of 20 US dollars (or the equivalent of 20 US dollars in Angolan currency) within 0/5 days before leaving the country. Show your valid passport when you leave the country, and you can take up to 5000 dollars out of the country. It is illegal and criminal to trade, buy and carry rough diamonds abroad without the permission of the relevant Angolan authorities.

Four, medical conditions and medical security instructions (including health and epidemic prevention information)

The main epidemics in Angola are malaria, AIDS, leprosy, sleeping sickness, meningitis, cholera, tuberculosis and yellow fever. You must be vaccinated against yellow fever before coming to an. There is no China medical team in Angola, and the medical conditions are poor. There are three large hospitals and some small private clinics in Luanda, the capital. Private clinics are expensive. The registration fee alone costs 30-50 yuan, and an ultrasonic examination costs several hundred yuan. In Angola, free medical care is implemented. In addition to the registration fee, big hospitals usually tip doctors. There is no pharmacy in general hospitals, and patients go to the pharmacy outside the hospital to buy medicine with a doctor's prescription. The health and medical conditions in hospitals are very poor, mosquitoes are rampant, and they generally live with local people. At present, most of the drugs used by China residents in Angola are brought by themselves when they come to Angola. Ann can't drink tap water directly.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) public security situation

Because Angola experienced nearly 30 years of civil war, it began a long period of chaos, the public security situation was relatively poor, and theft and armed robbery occurred from time to time. At present, most China companies and individual businessmen employ local security guards in their offices, houses or stalls in Angola.

Don't carry a lot of cash and valuables when you travel and go on business trips. Don't reveal your wealth to the local people easily. If necessary, you can hire security guards to accompany you. Once an accident happens, such as money, goods and passports being robbed, you should immediately report it to the local police station and contact the embassy.

Six, traffic safety and travel precautions

Road traffic rules follow the traffic rules system of Portuguese colonial rule. The national transportation hardware facilities are outdated and lacking, and the traffic rules are mainly established. Traffic safety education and publicity are not popular, and people lack basic safety awareness. Many sections of Luanda, the capital, lack traffic lights and traffic police command, and the road conditions are poor, and people and vehicles are mixed, which is prone to various traffic accidents. Most suburban and inter-provincial highways were destroyed by the civil war and need to be repaired urgently. In some provinces and regions, there are still a large number of wartime mines, and many accidental mine accidents occur every year. In addition, the taxi industry in Luanda, the capital, is very backward, with more than a dozen mixed vans as the mainstay and only a few car taxis.

Seven, China people often encounter problems and related legal advice.

Mainly refer to Angola's Law on the Administration of Foreigners, the Basic Law on Private Investment, and the Regulations on Finance, Customs and Taxation to Encourage Private Investment. If necessary, you can consult the embassy and commercial office.

China people often encounter the problem is:

The entry visa has expired. Entry visas issued by Angolan government agencies and embassies and consulates abroad are valid for a short period of time, usually up to two months. When some China citizens came to Angola, their visas had expired, and they were refused entry or fined or blackmailed. In this case, even our embassy in Angola can't solve the problem. Therefore, once the Angolan entry visa is completed, China citizens should come as soon as possible and carefully check whether the visa is still valid before departure, so as to avoid being refused entry because the visa is invalid.

Overstay Angola's entry visa generally lasts for 30 days, and you must leave the country after 30 days, otherwise you will be severely punished. The local government severely cracked down on illegal immigrants, and imposed fines, detention and forced repatriation measures on foreigners who overstayed and stayed. The local detention center is in poor condition and does not provide meals.

Baggage inspection. Most of the customs at ports such as Angola Airport require unpacking inspection of check-in and carry-on luggage of inbound and outbound passengers, and it is strictly forbidden to take Angolan currency Kwanzaa and ivory products out of the country. If you bring black wood carvings and other handicrafts out of the country, you must buy stamp duty on the handicrafts in the designated store in advance and stick the tax flowers on the handicrafts for future reference, otherwise it will be confiscated. In addition, for safety reasons, some airlines require passengers to identify checked baggage again before boarding at the airport, and unidentified baggage cannot be checked randomly.

Foreign exchange control. According to local customs regulations, outbound passengers should not carry more than $5,000 in foreign currency cash. Violators will be severely punished, and all foreign currencies (including $5,000 within the limit) will be confiscated. In actual law enforcement, customs sometimes confiscate passengers' money below $5,000.

Beware of extortion. Angolan officials and staff, especially law enforcers, have the habit of asking for money, and the amount is relatively high. Local customs, frontier defense, security inspection, transportation, public security, economic police, immigration authorities and other officials often ask foreigners for money and goods, and some locals pretend to be law enforcers to blackmail our citizens.
