We could not locate an official website for the Angolan embassy in Hanoi to verify its services; treat the list above as indicative.
What to know before you visit
- Phone first to confirm the address inside the Van Bao diplomatic compound and the reception schedule.
- Bring your Angolan passport, Vietnamese visa or residence card and copies of relevant documents.
- The diplomatic compound has gate security – have ID ready to show.
- The embassy closes on Vietnamese holidays and Angolan holidays such as Independence Day on 11 November.
- Google Maps lists no opening hours or phone number for the embassy, and visitors have arrived to find it closed – always call or email first.
- The Google Maps pin is on Van Bao Street (Ngoc Ha Ward); at the diplomatic compound gate, ask security to point you to the right villa.
What foreigners usually need help with at the embassy
From our experience assisting foreigners, these are the matters that most often send Angolan citizens to their embassy:
- Lost or stolen passport: first get the police report, then a replacement document from the embassy, and finally a new visa or exit procedure because the old visa disappeared with the passport.
- Expired or full passport: once the new passport is issued, your temporary residence card or valid visa must be moved into it; if you need to stay longer, add a visa extension.
- Papers for marriage, birth registration or a work permit: single-status certificates, birth certificates, degrees and police records need legalisation and a notarised translation before Vietnamese offices accept them.
- Signature certification and powers of attorney for transactions in Angola.
- Citizen registration and voting information for long-term residents of Vietnam.
Help with Angolan passports in Vietnam
The public information we could verify does not say whether the Angola embassy accepts passport applications in Hanoi. If it does not, the usual options are an emergency travel document to return home, an application via authorities at home, or via another designated Angolan mission. Contact the embassy for exact guidance.
Info Travel handles the Vietnamese procedures: a visa extension so you have time to wait for the passport, moving your visa or residence card to the new passport, and exit procedures if you leave Vietnam on a temporary document. We assist only within what the embassy allows; biometrics are given by the applicant personally.
Consular legalisation, consular certification (MOFA / Department of Foreign Affairs stamp) and notarised translation
Apostille note: Vietnam has applied the Apostille Convention since 11 September 2026, but Angola is not a party, so documents between the two countries still follow the certification and legalisation chain below.
Documents crossing borders need to be recognised at both ends. The process depends on the direction:
a) Documents issued in Angola for use in Vietnam
The document must be certified by the competent Angola authority and legalised by the Vietnamese embassy or consulate in Angola, or – if the Angola embassy in Vietnam certifies documents (ask first) – certified there and then legalised at the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Hanoi) or the HCMC Department of Foreign Affairs. Next comes a notarised Vietnamese translation (originals are usually in Portuguese). Legalisation is waived only where an international treaty to which Vietnam and Angola are parties provides an exemption. Note that an apostille and consular legalisation are different procedures – see apostille vs consular legalisation.
b) Vietnamese documents for use in Angola
Vietnamese documents receive consular certification at the Consular Department (MOFA) or the HCMC Department of Foreign Affairs, then, if the Angola embassy offers legalisation (to be confirmed), submitted there; otherwise legalised at the designated Angola mission. A translation into a language accepted in Angola is usually needed.
Info Travel runs the whole chain: translation, notarisation, the MOFA/Department of Foreign Affairs stamp, and submission and collection at the mission. See our consular legalisation service. Quotes per file on WhatsApp +84327828822.
