Facts & Stats

The Republic of Angola ( República de Angola ) is Africa’s seventh-largest nation situated just off the west coast of Southern Africa. Angola enjoys great biological and geographical diversity with an abundance of pristine beaches, tropical rainforests, majestic deserts, and little rivers coursing the length and breadth of the country.

Since the nation struck oil in 1955, economic growth has been rapid, driving gains in infrastructure, health, and education, and propelling Angola to the level of a growing superpower on the African continent.

While human development still has a long way to go, Angola holds promise for businesses looking to expand their footprint to tap into a growing market of highly-qualified professionals.

More and more multinational companies are moving into the country (particularly in the resources sector), bringing a steady stream of expats. With exposure to these global companies, local Angolan talent are beginning to build strong English fluency.

Grow your team in Angola with Remote

You can pay contractors now in Angola with Remote in some currencies (talk to a Remote expert now for more details).

 

Companies hiring in Angola are typically required to either own a legal entity in the country or work with a global employment solutions provider to employ on the company's behalf. Developing the processes required to manage payroll, benefits, taxes, and onboarding in countries like Angola can get complicated fast, especially without localised expertise. If you’re looking to start hiring in a country like this, using a global HR platform like Remote makes it easy to hire workers in full compliance with all local legislation. In the countries where we do offer our Employer of Record product, Remote takes on responsibility for compliance so you can focus on hiring great talent and growing your business.

Risks of misclassification

Angola, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Angola may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
