Cape Verde (Cabo Verde) is an Atlantic island nation off West Africa's coast, known for year-round sunshine, volcanic landscapes, pristine beaches, and vibrant Cape Verdean music (morna and coladeira). The archipelago consists of 10 volcanic islands. Praia on Santiago Island is the capital. Visitors are drawn to Sal Island's beaches and water sports, Boa Vista's desert dunes and sea turtles, Santo Antão's dramatic hiking trails, Fogo's active volcano, Mindelo's music scene on São Vicente, and Creole culture blending African and Portuguese influences. Cape Verde offers excellent conditions for windsurfing, kitesurfing, and beach relaxation.

Visa Requirements for Cape Verde

All travelers to Cape Verde must complete online pre-travel registration through the EASE system (https://ease.gov.cv/) within 5 days before departure, regardless of nationality. This electronic registration is mandatory and includes payment of a security fee. Upon arrival, most nationalities can obtain visa on arrival at airports and ports. ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) nationals can enter visa-free for up to 30 days. The EASE registration generates a confirmation code to present at check-in and immigration. Some nationalities may need to obtain visas in advance through Cape Verde embassies. The registration simplifies the entry process and expedites immigration clearance.
