Article 11 of the Constitution should be reformed in order to make explicit what are the guarantees against expropriation, and more particularly what compensation is required, when it must be paid, and in what form it must be paid. The regime applied to foreign workers should be greatly simplified. Foreign workers should not be required to return to their country of origin in order to renew their visas. Nor should visas have to be renewed annually. The incentives to foreign investment ought to be placed in the Foreign Investment Law itself.
Foreign investment ought to be able to enter Angola freely without any prior screening.
The different regimes for foreign investment, depending upon the amount of foreign investment ought to be eliminated. Perhaps a contractual regime for foreign investments greater than fifty million dollars might be retained. All investment above the amount of ten thousand dollars should be registered within thirty days from the date of transfer to Angola. The Foreign Investment Institute might play a major role with respect to placing a value on foreign investments made in the form of technology and machinery or other goods. The final stage would be for the Legislature to adopt a new Code of Foreign Investment and Domestic Investment, and for the Executive to prepare regulations and appoint the agencies to implement them.
