Entry requirements
- EASE states that as of 2026-01-01, nationals of countries in its published list must obtain an entry/transit/stopover visa prior to arrival.
- South Africa is not included in the published ‘countries requiring visa’ list.
Even when a visa is not required, you may still need to complete entry formalities (e.g., pre-registration). Always confirm current rules for your exact itinerary with official Cabo Verde sources before travel.
