No. A personal appearance is required at the embassy or consulate.

That’s probably Luanda, the capital of Angola. It is a port city on the west coast of Southern Africa.

The Angolan government faces a paradox: It is an incredibly rich country, but also a very poor one. Like most African countries, it faces some of the steepest development challenges in the world.

Angola's population is overwhelmingly Christian. About two-fifths of the population is Roman Catholic, about two-fifths is Protestant, and some one-tenth adheres to traditional beliefs or other religions.
