What are the entry requirements for Cape Verde?

The country has now resumed normal practice, with all COVID-19 entry requirements abolished.

It is always recommended to check with your travel supplier that your passport and documents comply with country requirements as they will have the most up to date information.

It is important to note that you will need to fill out a pre-registration form for travelers prior to travel.

If you’re arriving by plane, you’ll also need to pay Airport Security Tax (TSA).

The only exceptions to this are residents of Cape Verde and children under the age of one.

It is worth asking your tour operator if they can help you fill out this form.

Do I need a visa to visit Cape Verde?

If your passport is that of a British citizen, you are entitled to stay for 30 days as a visa-free visitor.

However, should your stay be longer than the permitted 30 days or your reason for traveling is other than tourism, you should contact the nearest Cape Verde embassy for further assistance.

Do I need a passport to visit Cape Verde?

Your passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of your entry.
