Watch out for
Angolan passport holders are not covered by the visa-on-arrival scheme, which applies only to Japan, South Korea and certain UAE nationals at selected airports, so arrange the eVisa before flying. [2]
Apply only through the official government portals; the authorities warn that no agent or intermediary is authorized to charge for emergency, express visa, eVisas or eArrival card services. [1]
The eArrival Card is arrival information only and is not a visa, so it does not replace the eVisa. [5]
