The number of Angolans in the United Arab Emirates has grown and is around 200 Angolans, especially in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
Regarding consular registration, the Consul-General of Angola in Dubai, Bento Salazar André “Morgado”, announced the launch of itinerant consular acts, within the community, from next November, as part of the celebration of 48 years of National Independence.
