Entry requirements
- Cabo Verde’s Consular Portal notes that foreign citizens generally need a visa, and that visa-exempt nationalities are listed separately.
- The Consular Portal also notes that citizens residing in countries where Cabo Verde has no diplomatic representation can apply for visas upon entry at the borders.
- All travelers (including visa-exempt travelers) are subject to pre-registration and TSA payment via the EASE platform; travelers without proof of pre-registration may be processed on arrival and may need to purchase the tourist visa where applicable.
Stay
The Consular Portal describes the tourism visa as allowing a stay of 90 days (extendable). Final admission and length of stay are decided by border authorities.
Passport
Passport valid for at least 6 months at the time of stay.
Always confirm the exact visa procedure for Kenyan citizens (and whether a visa must be obtained before departure) with official Cabo Verde sources/consular services and your airline before booking.
