After a maximum of 6,715 entries in Angolan territory in 2015, the number of Portuguese inflows into Angola has been decreasing significantly: -42% in 2016, -24% in 2017, -36% in 2018 and -11% in 2019. This indicates that the effects of the economic recovery in Portugal has been adding the recessive effects of the oil price crisis on the Angolan labor market of immigration, that was felt more strongly after 2016. The values used in this highlight correspond to the sum of the following types of visas issued by the consulates of Angola in Oporto and in Lisbon: privileged, work (the most common), work by protocol, fixation of residence and others (study and temporary stay).
