Acquisition of Angolan citizenship



By birth


Birth in Angola alone is not sufficient grounds for a right to Angolan citizenship, unless the parents are unknown or stateless.[1]



By descent


Any child who has at least one Angolan citizen parent has a right to Angolan citizenship from birth, regardless of the place of birth or the marital status of the parents.[1]



By marriage


The spouse of an Angolan citizen becomes an Angolan citizen after five years of marriage, regardless of sex. There is no requirement to reside in Angola.[1]



By naturalisation


A foreign national may apply for Angolan citizenship upon meeting the following conditions:


  • 10 years residence in Angola;

  • Assimilation into Angolan society;

  • Good moral character;

  • Possession of means of subsistence.

There is no requirement to renounce previous nationalities.[1]



Multiple citizenship


Angolan citizens are permitted to hold dual or multiple citizenships.[1]



Loss of citizenship


Angolan citizenship acquired by birth may be revoked as a consequence of performing certain services for a foreign state. Angolan citizenship acquired by naturalisation may be revoked upon a finding the it was fraudulently acquired or upon conviction for crimes against the state. Those who have their citizenship revoked have a right to challenge the revocation in court.[1]
