A passport valid for at least six months from the date of entry into Cape Verde is required by all nationals referred to in the chart above.
Cape Verde grants visa-free entry to nationals of several countries, primarily within Africa, Europe, and the Americas. However, all travellers must register online (https://www.ease.gov.cv) prior to arrival and pay an airport security fee of 3,400 Cape Verdean Escudo (CVE), which can be settled online or upon arrival.
Cape Verde visa-free entry is available to citizens of the following countries:
Africa: Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) member states—Benin, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo—along with Angola, Mauritania, and Mozambique.
Europe: European Union (EU) member states, Schengen Area associated countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland), Russia, and the United Kingdom.
Americas: Brazil, Canada, and the United States.
Asia: Hong Kong, Macau, Timor-Leste, and Singapore.
Visa policies are subject to change. For the most up-to-date information, contact the nearest Cape Verdean embassy or consulate before making travel arrangements.
