Angola visa July 2008
I applied for the angolan visa at their embassy in Ghana and was told they would forward my application to Brazzaville Congo and I should have no problem getting a transit visa in Brazzaville. When I arrived in Brazzaville the angolan embassy had a sign saying "No Visas" - I tried to get into DRC to get the visa in Matadi but got turned back by DRC because I didn't have an Angolan visa. I spent 10 days visiting the Angolan embassy in Brazzaville even wrote a letter, eventually the relented and issued a 5 day transit visa. Some fellow travelers with a Jeep tried the same thing after I recieved my visa they gave up after 10 days, they flew to Joburg S Africa and got a visa there (very expensive) and flew back to Congo to continue their journey south. This situation may change in Brazzaville but this is what i experienced. -mike
