All visitors (except holders of some African passports) require a visa and a passport that is valid for at least another 6 months after the travel date. As a European or British citizen, you can obtain a visa at the respective embassy or consulate in your country in advance. A one-month tourist visa can be obtained without any problems on arrival at Sal, Boa Vista, São Vicente and Santiago international airports and at the ports of Praia and Sal (payable in euros only – don’t expect change to be available). For more information, please see the Lonely Planet Cape Verde guide and CapeVerde.com.
