Cabo Verde (Cape Verde) Visa Guide

Indian passport holders are not on Cabo Verde’s visa-exempt list, so they need a visa. India is also not among the 91 countries that must hold a visa before arrival, so confirm with a Cabo Verdean embassy whether yours can be issued at the border. Every foreign visitor must pre-register on the EASE portal and pay the airport security fee.

Tourism visa: 4,898 CVE. Temporary visa: 4,898 CVE. Transit visa: 4,898 CVE. The government portal gives a single figure for the visa: 4,898 CVE (Cabo Verdean escudos). Embassies charge in their local currency, so the amount you pay abroad can differ; ask the embassy handling your application. Separately, foreign visitors pay the airport security fee (TSA) when they pre-register on EASE. Cabo Verde’s embassy in Washington lists it at 3,400 CVE on international flights, with children under 2 exempt.

Not published; official sources give no processing time. Apply well before your trip, and complete EASE pre-registration at least five days before you arrive.

Contact the nearest Cabo Verdean embassy or consular post and confirm how you should get your visa. The government portal says visas are applied for at embassies and consular services. The consular portal adds that people living in a country with no Cabo Verdean diplomatic representation can apply at the border on arrival. If you are applying through an embassy, book an appointment on the consular portal (portalconsular.mnec.gov.cv) and submit your passport, photograph and application. Pre-register your trip on the EASE portal (ease.gov.cv) at least five days before arrival and pay the airport security fee. Pre-registration does not by itself grant entry. Travel with your passport, your visa if it was issued in advance, your EASE confirmation, your return ticket and your accommodation details.
