Do India Citizens Need a Visa for Cape Verde in 2026?

Visa on Arrival

Indian citizens do not need a traditional visa to visit Cabo Verde for up to 30 days. However, all foreign nationals arriving by air must complete the EASE (Electronic Travel Authorization) pre-registration process and pay an Airport Security Tax (TSA) before arrival. This ensures a seamless entry for luxury travelers heading to the resorts of Sal or Boa Vista.

Step-by-Step Application Process

1

Online Pre-Registration (EASE)

Visit the official EASE portal (ease.gov.cv) at least five days before your flight. Create an account and start the pre-registration process.

2

Fill Details & Pay TSA

Enter your passport information, flight details, and luxury resort booking information. Pay the Airport Security Tax (TSA) online securely using a credit card.

3

Receive EASE Document

Once processed, you will receive your EASE document via email. Print a color copy to present to the airline at check-in and to immigration upon arrival.

4

Arrival in Cabo Verde

Upon landing in Sal or Boa Vista, present your passport and EASE document at the dedicated pre-registered immigration counters for swift clearance.

Required Documents

  • Valid Indian passport (with at least 6 months validity from the date of entry)
  • Printed EASE Pre-Registration Document
  • Confirmed round-trip flight tickets
  • Proof of luxury accommodation (confirmed resort booking)
  • Proof of sufficient financial means for the stay

Important Tips

  • The EASE system is mandatory for air arrivals. Failing to pre-register means you will face delays and be required to complete the process and pay the TSA upon arrival, which defeats the purpose of a VIP travel experience.
  • Ensure your passport information entered on the EASE portal matches your physical passport perfectly; any discrepancy can lead to boarding denial.
  • While Cabo Verde is generally visa-free for 30 days, the EASE document acts as your entry clearance. Keep it with your passport at all times.
  • If arriving by private yacht or cruise ship, the EASE requirements might differ slightly; have your concierge verify the specific maritime entry protocols.

Easiest Way to Get It

Have your travel concierge complete the EASE pre-registration and pay the TSA on your behalf a week before travel. Arrive at the airport with your printed EASE document and breeze through immigration to begin your luxury island retreat.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
