Hi all,

Newbie on the Angola forum? Don't know how to start?

This thread is for you ;)

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more on your expat projects in Angola if you are planning to move there.

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Hello, my name is Cheryl. We are moving to Luanda, Angola probably in June or July. We are moving from the Atlanta, GA area. My husband works in the oil industry, we have 6 children and 3 grandchildren. Our 4 and 9 year old will be moving with us. I'm both nervous and excited about the move. Trying to find out information about Expat living in Angola has not been an easy task. If there is any advice that can be given I would truly appreciate it!

What sort of work are you looking for
What qualifications do you have
How much experience do you have. 

Have you gone online and looked for work. You need to research for companies online and then email them to see if they are looking for someone like you.

Hi everyone! I've just come to Angola from Russia. This is the first time then I work abroad. I am Petroleum Engineer, came to Luanda to work as a Project Coordinator in oil service company. I am alone without family.
I came on 17th of June and I was shocked at first. I expected something better. But now my emotions getting better and better. I hope I will love this place!

When we arrive to Angola firt time we stay :blink: , but if you learn portuguese and meet angolan people you will be :kiss: by people, by country and by nature... Trust me, learn portuguese and you know what i mean.  :top:

Hi There,

The names Nolan. Im from Cape Town South Africa. Im looking to live and work in Angola. I have neither kids nor dependents. I was born in South Africa. Ive worked for almost 18 yrs. in SA. Im currently have a very low paying job. Im wanting to find a better paying job that will meet my experiences and qualifications. In the past 7 months. I have emailed over 600 cvs for potential jobs. Because my country is heading for a recession and we are financially and politically unstable, its hard to find descent work here. Also our country as strict policies regarding labour and race. The have introduced policies like AA (Affirmative Action) and BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) and other policies. These policies in a nut shell racially discriminate against the white people in my country. I have a father who is 63 yrs. He currently lives and works in Angola now for over 16 yrs. in oil. He has made a very nice nest for his family. My day in his 50's couldnt find work due to these policies and him being a middle age white male. At this moment in time, there is no future for the majority of white people left in South Africa. The number of white people that have left SA to live and work abroad has increased alot. The less fortunate white people are forced to live in poverty, In SA, there is an estimate over 600 000 white people and families living in poverty and cant find jobs. This number has increased dramatically in the past few years. So we are forced to leave our country of birth to find better paying jobs abroad and to build a better future. So Im one of those very few white males who want to leave my country and live abroad in Angola.

Hello everybody!!

I'm Juan,  an spanish guy living in Paris whose boyfriend is moving to Angola due to a great job opportunity.  I'm thinking about moving with him,  but I don't know nothing about that country, the only thing I know is that Luanda,  where he's moving, and maybe me too, is the most expensive city in the world. I'm a hotel receptionist, and honestly I don't know if I'd be able to live there with a hotel salary...

Well, I'm here just to learn more about Angola and particularly Luanda to make me take a decision,  cause know I don't have any idea about what to do or how to handle all that...

I hope I will find an answer to my doubts here.

Hello everyone I am an Italian architect, I'm 43 years old. I have experience in planning and designing civil and industrial use, I would like to design and build something in Angola-

Hi Dude, don't speak so negatively about your country like that.If you keep being that negative, you will take that negativeness wherever you go. Angola is not ready to receive such negativity. Look how South Africa is doing, pretty well, hence every second young european wants to come or is already coming to stay in South Africa. Cape Town looks like a little Europe , it doesn't reflect what you have just said in your comments.
