Passport validity
Travellers should generally have a passport valid for at least six months after arrival. Passport and documentation requirements should be confirmed before travelling.
Cabinda Province
Significant security warnings apply to parts of Cabinda Province because of the risk of attacks and kidnapping. Travellers should check current advice for their exact destination.
DRC border areas
Additional warnings apply to parts of Lunda Norte near the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo because of insecurity, banditry and difficult conditions.
