Angola visa application in Cape Town
I also have heard stories of huge difficulties applying for an Angolan visa in Oshakati (Nam), Windhoek (Nam), and Rundu (Nam). I recommend getting your Angola visa in Cape Town (I'm a U.S. citizen). Once the letter of invitation was faxed and verified at the Cape Town Consulate, a 30-day tourist visa was issued for 750 Rand ($75 at the time). I payed an extra 300 Rand to expedite the process and received the visa within 4 working days. I have two months from issuance to enter Angola and 30 days once I enter. The employees at the consulate were very patient, professional, and even kind. Compare my experience with that of two Polish travelers who were refused at Windhoek and waited over 3 weeks for their 5-day transit visas in Oshakati. Initially they were told the visas would cost $700 each, and they got the price down to $150. Read their story at

I got a DRC visa (about $80 + $40 expedite fee) in Windhoek in 3 hours. I will be applying soon for Congo. Apparently it costs $60 and takes 24 hours. I will also be speaking with the Nigerian consule next week. I plan on gettin the Gabon visa in Luanda.
PM me for if you have specific questions.
Good luck-
Marcus
