Do you need a visa to Cape Verde?

Visa policy is a key factor in regulating the entry of foreign nationals into Cape Verde. It establishes who is required to obtain a visa to enter the country and who is allowed visa-free entry. Currently, citizens of many countries can visit Cape Verde without a visa for up to 30 days, but they must obtain an EASE electronic entry permit.

Each type of visa and EASE pre-registration has its own specifics and processing requirements, as well as different validity periods. Foreign nationals should familiarize themselves with these requirements in advance in order to properly apply for the necessary visa to enter Cape Verde.

Passengers arriving by air are required to pay an airport security tax (TSA) upon entry into the country. However, this requirement does not apply to children under the age of two and permanent residents of the republic. TSA is levied on both international and domestic flights. You can pay the tax upon arrival at the Cape Verde airport in cash in local currency or by credit/debit card.

Let's take a closer look at EASE pre-registration and the main types of visas that foreign nationals may require:

EASE electronic travel authorization (pre-registration)

EASE for Cape Verde is an electronic travel authorization registration system designed for citizens who do not require a visa for a short-term stay in Cape Verde and those who already have a visa for the country. The permit is issued if the foreigner arrives in the country by air and is used for purposes other than transit.

The validity period is 1 year and the duration of stay is 30 days.

Tourist visa

The tourist visa allows foreign nationals to visit Cape Verde for the purpose of tourism, travel, recreation and visiting relatives and friends. It is important to note that a tourist visa does not grant the right to work or reside in the country.

The validity period and duration of stay is 90 days.

Business visa

A business visa is required to attend business events, meetings or conferences. Application requires a letter from the employer or sponsoring organization detailing the purpose and planned duration of the visit.

The validity period and duration of stay is 90 days.

Work visa

A work visa is granted to persons who have received a job offer from a company in Cape Verde. The period of validity and duration of stay in the country corresponds to the period specified in the employment contract.

Transit visa

The transit visa allows citizens traveling to another country and passing through Cape Verde to stay in the islands for 4 days with the possibility of extending their stay for an additional period. This visa allows passengers to take advantage of a temporary break in their journey and discover the delights of these amazing islands.

Student visa

The student visa allows foreign students to study in Cape Verdean institutions. This visa is usually valid for the duration of the course or up to one year, and can be extended if necessary.

However, if the period of study at a Cape Verdean university exceeds 1 year, students will need a resident visa. Additional documents and procedures may be required to obtain a resident visa.

Private (family) visa

Private visa to Cape Verde is valid for married couples with minor children. It is issued for recreation, culture, tourism or visiting family/friends.

The validity and duration of stay of a single entry visa is 90 days.

Multiple-entry visa valid for 3 years, duration of stay up to 90 days per year.

Cape Verde Digital Nomad Visa

The visa allows digital nomads to live and work remotely on the islands for up to six months. After this period, it is possible to extend the visa. The program is suitable for self-employed workers and anyone who works remotely.

Citizens of North America, Europe, CPLP (Community of Portuguese-speaking Countries) and CEDEAO (Economic Community of West African States) can obtain a visa.

Digital nomads coming from other countries not mentioned above need a tourist visa to enter the country.

Who needs to apply for a visa?

Nationals from up to 200 countries do not require a visa for short-term stays in Cape Verde, but must pre-register online for an Electronic Authorization for Travel (EASE) if arriving by air and for purposes other than transit.

Other nationals from approximately 45 countries must necessarily apply for a visa at the Cape Verdean embassy, regardless of the intended duration and purpose of their visit. Foreign nationals who already have a valid entry visa must still pre-register (EASE) before entry.
