Angolans in Portugal form the country's second-largest group of African migrants, after Cape Verdeans.[3] In 2006, official statistics showed 28,854 legal Angolan residents in Portugal.[1] However, this number is likely an underestimate of the true size of the community, as it does not count people of Angolan origin who hold Portuguese citizenship.[3] In 2022 INE counted 31,614 Angolans living in Portugal.[4]
